Hi all,
I'm in the early stages of planning a marathon sponsored cycle ride to hopefully raise funds to buy equipment for the junior section of a rowing club where I coach.
I've come up with a 300km route, covering a good proportion of the wonderful Isle of Wight, where I am lucky enough to live. At an average of 18km/h it's going to take me around 16-17 hours. My Garmin Edge 510 has a claimed maximum battery life of 20 hours, which I think is probably a bit optimistic, but obviously I'd like to make sure the whole ride is recorded as proof of completion for sponsors etc.
I might be barking up the wrong tree here, but I'm almost certain I saw a thread on here a while ago about external power sources for Garmin devices. Is anyone able to point me in the direction of one of these or perhaps recommend one please?
The internal battery on the 510 might well last the distance I guess, but an extra few hours of juice wouldn't go amiss.
Any advice gladly received. Thanks.
