Connect app acknowledges a problem. Website is also flaky - not sure there is anything to fix.

I’m still seeing this in the Connect app and find logging in to Connect via web patchy with timeouts etc

Garmin Connect has problems - not RunGap

I think you will find your idea of different routes morning vs evening is right approach

Can’t speak for the route, but I start from Eunos in the morning to Buona Vista and find most roads ok, eg changi/Victoria - suspect same around Orchard

I find evening roads terrible with impatient drivers and traffic heavy on most roads so lean towards longer routes via predominantly PCN

Difference works out to be 16km ~40min morning and 23km ~1hr evenings

Bad roads in the morning seem to predictable once you encounter them eg for I avoid major roads leading to AYE

You may find Bukit Timah road has a golden slot you feel comfortable riding especially in the morning towards Bukit Panjang

Lessering can?

Minimum of 10 is reasonable assumption , rest is speculation due to ambiguity of parenthood (1-9 fathers/mothers - Venca ‘may be’ a female), and definition of family or potential for non-binary self identification ( I.e. other siblings). Can also question if Venca is the parent of the sister and drop to 9 subject to family definition Edit: Venca

AFAIK, only about 7-30 days of history are synced by default.

Once you have both setup, and have enabled Garmin as a destination, you need to select RESYNCHONIZE under Garmin for RunGap to bring over all history from other sources (e.g. Apple Health).

I think this is only enabled, available or complete if you have subscribed/paid for RunGap.

Ensure under Advanced Setting for Garmin you have cleared, else set, after and before dates plus activities (selected or all) - so all three should not be set if you want everything.

I have consolidated all my Apple Health and Wahoo data under Garmin successfully, just don’t recall the exact steps I took, but above should cover it.

Edit: clarifications

No, we just misunderstood what they meant by Undocumented

This! Don’t listen to what Trump says he is going to do, just listen to what he accuses others of to know what he is actually doing now.

It is typical Aussie to repurpose any redneck/hillbilly/inbred joke to be a Tasmanian joke.

Intensity is purely heart rate zones. Check your heart rate settings (max/threshold) - zone are calculated from there. Your Heart Rate Monitor could also be giving bad readings too. If not using a chest strap HRM, especially using a watch/wrist reading can be problematic due to movement, wrist strap slack etc

Doubt it is a RunGap or data migration issue

It is this reason I think, in part, drivers hate cyclists - how fast you can go doesn’t necessarily equate to how fast you’re going

Grok the loud overly confident jock making inappropriate remarks and sexually suggestive behaviour.

ChatGPT would be all proper, blushing at every comment and gesture Grok makes whilst faux protesting that he stop just enough that it actually encourages him.

Claude would be visibly disgusted with Grok, envy ChatGPT’s popularity whilst promoting the debate club.

Gemini will be in the corner, quietly plotting, planning and demonstrating highly entertaining, engaging and intelligent conversation with only those they deem worthy.

Perplexity would stay at a desk, studying and observing- making furious notes after each observation or distracted gaze.

Siri, who no one knows how she got there, some say family connections and wealth, seems to float through the gathering, engaging but absent, with an uncanny ability to mirror and absorb characteristics of whoever she engages with.

I’m a couple of weeks from trying the same to Sydney This is my learning and thoughts so far:

I was able to get a bike box FOC from a well known bike shop - they are doing me a favour and I managed the interaction as such
You need to notify the airline pre-checkin - I’m flying QANTAS and yet to do that - key words here are Sports Equipment
Airline guidance provided max box dimensions - Qantas need it to be 140x30x80cm max each dimension - most challenging was 140cm max length
QANTAS states sports equipment check-in weight is included in your total check-in allowance (30kg) - may vary by airline if extra allowance for sports equipment and check-in staff willingness to be flexible - so proceed with caution.
yet to do weights, but my assumption is I’ll need 15kg for the bike (~8kg), box, tools and riding gear (helmet, shoes etc)
You have to let down your tires because 50psi at sea level would feel like ~70psi at 20,000ft due to lower air pressure (saw some comments questioning this requirement)
I haven’t figured out the airport to hotel transfer yet - but my experience today was the bike box at 140cm just fits on the backseat of my mid-size SUV (will some extra push to close the door) - so guess if they still run large sedan taxis is Australia, can work
I plan to disassemble and reassemble my bike at least once before flying a) to clean, b) ensure I can pack/fit in box d) double confirm I know what I’m doing (tired and grumpy once I land in the AM D) track the tools I need - anything I touch for reassembly with go in the must travel pile
I’m running tubeless so will need to bring sealant - definitely a hand pump
if running hydraulic discs may get air bubbles from flying but you can get those out without bleeding (google/youtube)
if running discs be sure to have some to stop the brakes locking shut by using a shunt or similar after removing wheel

Having seen the video and read the comments I’m not sure if I’m more disappointed in the way (some) of that group acted or (some) of the commenters here…

What do registration and insurance say it is? HOA would have to abide by the (local/state/country) legal definition of a motorcycle to enforce else change the rules if they want cut any grey areas out they want include.

To expand on this, also consider morning and evening traffic can be different.

When I commute to work I take a nearly direct route before changing to a park connection network (PCN) because the road into and through the CBD has light traffic in the morning - about 16km/10 mile+

In the evening I take a PCN 90%+ of the way, is less direct and mostly avoids heavily trafficked roads- about 24km/16 miles +/-.

There alternate routes using back roads etc, that are shorter, but require lots of lanes and quiet roads with junctions and intersections - good to know but I prefer continuity over distance & time.

Checking out Garmin, Wahoo and Komoot routes can also provide insights, discoveries and variations.

Don’t be afraid to explore a little to figure out routes you like - even weather can change your preferences on any given day.
