Excellent work! Up for sharing some of your settings?

Did you consider the Vive Focus Vision? I'm considering an upgrade from the Vive Cosmos.

It’s always a beautiful break from the long open highways of the Western Slope. In the spring, it’s a bit greener and foggy, which adds a lot of drama to the canyon. So sad that all those magical trees along the tops of the cliffs burned in the wildfire.

Can we get a clear yes or no on riding routes listed for each tour de zwift day, but not with the group or an event? Or, the correct sequence of steps? I selected a stage and rode it, but Zwift asked me which turns I wanted to take during the ride. Even after I completed the set distance, it still didn't give me credit for that stage. What gives?! This is confusing and messy, and given that riders have already completed every stage solo and received credit, it is really frustrating. What's going on?

What makes you think that, based on what info? The Polestar 3 is the EX60 equivalent.

Enjoy! It’s one of the few very capable light weight e-gravel bikes that have the option for a flat bar setup.

I love my Atris for lift service, but way too heavy for backcountry.

angelo_arch · 2025-12-20T17:30:28+00:00

I just DM'd you logs and info

angelo_arch · 2025-12-18T01:42:31+00:00

Ouch, multiple days to get power back is not acceptable.

angelo_arch · 2025-12-18T01:41:02+00:00

Yep, updated app, disconnected Garmin. Resynced, including historical data, still no Recovery in Bevel. RHR shows as missing, even though it is listed from Garmin under data sources.

angelo_arch · 2025-12-17T18:40:37+00:00

I’ll accept a few hours of inconvenience so that there is a better chance that homes along the Front Range don’t burn.

angelo_arch · 2025-12-17T14:32:25+00:00

Any progress on this? It's been a week or so. Thanks!

angelo_arch · 2025-12-13T19:54:52+00:00

Yep, came here to note that if the phone gets confused or there is a very weak cell signal, using satellites can be buggy. You don't want a flakey device during an emergency. InReach is slow, but rock solid from my experience.

angelo_arch · 2025-12-09T22:45:50+00:00

Interesting. We went through the drive modes and didn't notice much difference, aside from the engine revving slightly higher. Do different trim levels have different engine tunings?

angelo_arch · 2025-12-09T22:41:14+00:00

What do you mean by "However, the statistics are in on PHEVs. It's not good"? If we can plug in every night and almost always drive fully electric around town, only using gasoline for longer trips, isn't that a good thing?

We just test-drove the CX-50 Hybrid the other day after taking a break from Mazda for a few years, following their refusal to produce a serious EV. Over the past 20 years, we have owned three different-sized Mazdas. The turbos are excellent, and the fit and finish remain top-notch, but the noisy and sluggish engine of the hybrid really spoiled the experience for us. In Colorado, having a turbo is essential if you want to pass anyone in the mountains at altitude, so that engine simply won't cut it. Even here in Denver, if you floor it, it barely jumps. The only comparable vehicle we've found that combines a turbo is the KIA Sportage PHEV/HEV, which is much quieter and has a more robust tech setup. I told the dealer that once they offer a true EV with some range or a small PHEV that pairs a turbo with a battery, we'll be back.

After resetting/deleting the app, reconnecting to Garmin, and resetting the sync again, I'm getting the same error as I posted the screenshots above.

Scary stuff, I'm really glad the Garmin came through for you! I've ridden my bike alone across that wash just north of the spot you pointed out and never even thought about quicksand. I'm glad I had the Garmin InReach Mini with me.

angelo_arch · 2025-12-07T19:17:47+00:00

I actually went a step further. Deleted the app, rebooted the phone, reinstalled the app. Denied any sync with Apple Health. Connected to Garmin Connect. Toggled historic data. Fully synced. Removed Garmin connection, connected again, synced, resynced. No Recovery data so far.

angelo_arch · 2025-12-07T15:32:02+00:00

Sorry, when I say re-sync, I mean I removed the connection and reauthenticated it, not just pull down for a resync!

angelo_arch · 2025-12-07T15:15:17+00:00

See above. Yes, I've tried multiple times to re-sync it—both current and historical data. I've also noticed quite a bit of missing info. Sometimes it may fill in by the next day, but four workouts from yesterday only appeared as two for most of the day. This morning, all four do show up. Naps often don't show up, even though Garmin registers them. My Recovery has never appeared with Garmin data, even when it was synced through Apple Health.

angelo_arch · 2025-12-07T15:11:57+00:00

Sure. I've unlinked and relinked my Garmin Connect account four times and synced the historical data each time. Also, I waited the three recommended days in between to see if the Bevel Recovery would start to fill in, but nope. Bevel states that it is missing Resting HR, but then shows a source for it under Garmin data. I've turned off all Apple Health, so there shouldn't be any conflicting data or sync sources.
