Got a 2012 Camelbak Lobo from Snow&Rock this am. They price matched the cheapest online I'd found.
Will be ideal and with Camelbak giving lifetime guarentee its worth the extra ££ IMO.

I paid £225 for mine but that was with heart rate monitors and cadence metre.
The standard Edge 500 can be had for about £160.
Theres also an Edge 200 which is cheaper again.

I broke my phone  so cant use that, so have been using my Garmin Dakota 10 GPS (which I use for Geocaching so have been tieing in the 2) to see the distance and elevation and just been manually putting them on Strava so that I can still keep a log of what I have been doing.
Need to weight myself asap as well. Having a clue what I weight but would like to know so I can see if the cycling helps lose my moobs, belly and fat thighs as I will still carry smoking and eating and drinking the way I do.

I broke the 50mph barrier on my bike the other day, 51.4mph according to the garmin. If I had a mans chainset on it I think I could have gone a bit quicker, maybe another 3-4 mph. It was a little scary though

I think the fastest I've done is about 44mph on a compact chainset. I thought that was scary, haven't done anything like it since.

I've done 30 miles every day for a week now, should probably buy a device so I can actually use strava. Phone doesn't last an hour with GPS draining battery.
