Now I've gone and done it!  After finishing the MS150 I've come to the decision that I'd like to ride in a group. I paired up with another rider for the whole thing, but when those Amgen guys cruised past us we just couldn't resist. We rode with them for about 30 min, smiles from ear to ear.    Any groups riding in the Providence area? 

I just got my new gadget too yesterday and after a while I figured it out. Note: you need to have a profile on Mapmyrun. I also noticed that installing the complete file from the Garmin site software update (the one including BOTH ANT driver and Garmin training software, ~20 MB) was the way to get a smooth synchronization between the watch and the PC INCLUDING the Garmin training Center. OPTION 1: From Mapmyrun to the Forerunner via Garmin Training Center: a) Click on "Map new run" and draw your course. Then on the map click "Save/save to my profile". Give it a name, just answer the questions on step 1, no need to go further. b) Click on "My runs" all above the screen and select the course you created. On the map now click "Save/Save as a Garmin course". Save it as your like on your PC. c) Open Garmin training center. Select “File/import/courses”. Browse to the file on your PC then OK. To transfer your course to your watch then click on the send to your device button, 2 buttons on the right of the course button. OPTION2: from the Forerunner to Mapmyrun: Dude I can't find it, I thought I saw some import button somewhere on that website at some point ! :-0

I'm not sure what the actual mechanism is but I find them helpful during rides (I haven't noticed any post-ride effect)

Okay brother. We got the point. You're not crazy about the site. So stop lurking.   By the way, did you try sending and e-mail vis the Contact us Link? http://www.mapmyrun.com/contact_us Just curious.

I just got my new garmin forerunner 405 and am trying to import runs from my mapmyrun courses to the garmin training site. Anyone know how this can be done.   Thx
