Guessing that this must have been an important enough issue to do a point release with nothing else. Lame… You can’t even download the release to apply it yourself… Double lame. Time to fire up the Garmin Express and bang on “sync device” for a while……

Snaggy Ridge 105
I will be heading back to Tipton, IA for the Snaggy Ridge 105 gravel race in a few weeks. I was unprepared for the experience last year, but in my defense it was my first gravel race, ever.

This guide is actually more educational seminar than guide, and I don’t mean that in a bad way at all. It is a fantastic resource for better understanding what to look for in a wheel when you go shopping.…
