Kayuh dengan Garmin Edge 1030 dan Strava

Riding with new Garmin Edge 1030, Strava, and Varia Radar tail light
Garmin Edge 1030, firmware 3.50. The latest update is ver 3.70, but I can't update to that with Garmin Express. Mine is APAC (Asia Pacific unit). My unit is now ver 3.70
EDIT: (28/2/201)  The latest  ver is 3.90
A big screen and font are ideal for an old man with long sight (presbyopia)  like me ;)
Garmin Soft chest strap with Edge 1020 and Maxwell CR2032 battery
Setting SENSOR- four sensors - (i) Chest /Wrist Heart Rate, (ii) Speed and Cadence sensor, (iii) Varia Radar sensor, and (iv) Vector3 Pedal sensor.
The picture above shows the Edge 1020 sensors screen, soft chest strap, and CR2032 battery for the chest strap heart rate monitor.
Notification / opening screen - front view at an old road-bike Boardman SLR 9.8
My favorite application, My Edge data fields, an analog meter  - Apps by Stanislav.Bures. get the free download at Garmin Connect IQ
Virtual partner -when you are a solo rider, the computer partner can give you motivation to push harder
Strava segment - this screen captured shows a segment at the Bukit Masjid Sultan Abu  Bakar Raub. Firdaus Norezan aka Dauzan MFN is a current leader KOM
Those 2 white dots on the right side of the screen are 2 vehicles at my back, detected by a Varia Radar Rear Tail Light.
That orange colour strip indicates the speed of the vehicle, RED =very fast, ORANGE=moderate, and GREEN =Clear /no car
Dauzan MFN is also KOM at the Bukit Pejabat Agama /Bukit Kadi
Lopes Nawza is KOM at the Kg. Sempalit KOM

Firdaus Norezan is a strong young rider. He is KOM again at the Bukit Mangga - hill at Jalan Krau 1. Raub
My time is way off the KOM pace
Cikgu Ahmad Syafik is the current leader at the Bukit DO, a winding uphill road to the Raub District Officer (DO)  big house.
