I saw this deal on a Cateye Enduro Altimeter last week over at Nashbar so I picked it up. It not only has an Altimeter function but also a thermometer. I have been looking for a way to embellish any ride reports by coming up with some elevation figures. Well now I have it. I am not sure about the thermometer part because it never budged from 23.
My ride today started on my mountain bike and I rode up the hill but after gaining 640 feet I packed it in. On the way down there was a little hill and I added 40 more feet for a total of 680. The Cateyes all use the same wiring so I swapped it onto my road bike. Now heres the cool thing about elevation gain. Everytime you gain 10 feet it registers but not if you lose 10 feet. So I went on a hilly road ride and added 720 more feet. So now I can say I put in 1400 feet of climbing.
along with 33 miles. Best thing about it might have been the price-$40.
