You made me remember a beautiful stage in my life. Indurain, Pedro Delgado, the team of the Once ...
If I get a bike again, maybe I'll come back… Snifff… ..

It is always a good time to return to sports
Colleague, you who know so much, and I'm not saying it sarcastically. Are you encouraged to explain well how UEFI works and if linuxers are going to affect us? I have known out there that they intend to remove the normal BIOS by 2020.
Excuse me partner, if you have a basic Garmin watch, how do you sync it with Golden Cheetah once the software is installed.
Best regards
@Frank,
without having a garmin, or being very athletic; DD
I suppose you will have to store the information in your garmin, and then export it to the Golden Cheetah program:
