Hello, just wondering whether anyone has any recommendations for eg the Garmin Edge or Garmin Touring... for off road biking? It's my dad's birthday and we are both good at getting lost off road in the Yorkshire Moors and Dales etc, so I'm wondering how useful the map features might be on these devices...? Any advice gratefully received. (ps, hoping to maybe take him down to Cannock as that seems popular on here :-) )

My son swears by the Garmin Edge 800 series but he was given it free by Garmin so take the recommendation with that in mind.

Looking a tad muddy G. No cramp issues?

I have garmin edge and find it good but you will need to buy separate OS maps for off road riding if you want to see bridleways etc

Position on the bike G, presume you used mtb for the duathlon. Worth comparing measurements maybe? Crank length? Probably already checked I guess. If I think of anything else...

whatever you ride, enjoy it :)

Gravel also welcome :)

Also, is 26 dead yet?
