Using Virtual Partner
Your Virtual Partner
®
is a training tool
designed to help you meet your goals.
1. Go for a ride.
2. Scroll to the Virtual Partner page to
see who is leading.
At the top of the page, you can use
+ and - to adjust the speed of the
Virtual Partner during your ride.
Courses
Courses allow you to follow a
previously recorded activity. You can
follow a saved course simply because it
is a good route. For example, you can
save a bike friendly commute to work.
You can also follow a saved course,
trying to match or exceed previously
set performance goals. For example,
if the original course was completed
in 30 minutes, you will race against a
Virtual Partner trying to complete the
course in under 30 minutes.
Creating Courses with Your
Edge
Before you can create a course, you
must have history with GPS track data
saved to the Edge.
1. Select MENU > Courses > Create
New Course.
2. Select a previous ride on which to
base your course.
