I'm no elite athlete/champion, but this makes complete sense to me now. The last couple of weekends I have been taking part in hill climb events. Knowing every inch of the course definitely helped me pace myself and achieve a far better time than I expected.

Like the interviewee in the article, I definitely didn't look pretty in the photos: http://flic.kr/p/8KQANq

You look like every other cyclist I've ever watched climbing a hill :) shameless plug while on this topic, you should check out my cycling site, http://ridewithgps.com - really cool if you have a garmin edge 500, 305 etc.

That's funny, the picture that you are using for a GPS receiver is a Magellan Explorist 210, it's the GPS that I've been using for biking for the last few years.

But I don't think that it's compatible with your service.

Haha nice pointing that out - our old designer put that together, and I don't think he was fully aware of compatibility issues :) Thanks for pointing it out. However, you can still use the magellen, you just can't directly sync with the site using Garmin Communicator. Uploading a GPX or KML you pull off the unit manually will still work.

Awesome, thanks :)
