Whoop, whoop and way to get it done! Minnie the orbiter has added another million meters to her meter pile! Congratulations, Minnie, on achieving another million meter erging season! We wish you many, MANY more!

Whoooooosh!!! That's the sound of you and your erg(s) flying through yet another month! Zoom, zoom!!

Woof! Get out there and fetch those meters!

It's here..the Dog Days Challenge! During week 1, you'll need to log 10,000 meters during the week...a gentle sort of start. So add a few here, a few there..just make sure you get to 10K by the end of the week! Welcome back to teammate Lane A - always good to see returning teammates!

Wowzer! Some teammates knocked out that 10K week one goal all in one posting! Good stuff!

Captured the numbers early today, and golf happened...and a few other things, but we're ready to go now! As usual, whenever CHANGE happens on our forum, there is a learning curve and I am not immune to having my own learning curve on it as well.

Yes, thanks for the celebrations. I do appreciate the good publicity and the efforts it must take for the daily announcements.

I found out about the team room by accident. I was on the forum looking into another topic and decided to click on "Active Topics". Of course the LUNCA-TICS Team Room was at the top of the list (as it should be).

Day 4 of the 1st Week....and 28 Lunies have met the first goal !! Hooyah!!

On the agenda for today is the Shadow Mountain Trail, and out and back trail near Grand Lake CO that is also known as the Fire Tower Hike. Naturally, the name Shadow Mountain Trail, seems to speak of adventure. In fact, it gave me a throw back moment to a series of books by Enid Blyton, a British author of children's books. I've shared the story before that back in the day, my family was stationed in Alaska. There wasn't a lot of television to be had, and I read most of the books for kids in the base library. Some of my favorites were by Enid Blyton...only as an adult, I couldn't remember the name of the author of some of my favorite virtual adventures. Years later, I happened to be in a bookstore in London, and there the books were. A fun discovery. I would be ok with just moderate adventure today, like the moderate hike.

Has anyone had their PM5 connected to ErgData suddenly say the workout is over before all meters are rowed?

[Kona2]

Has anyone had their PM5 connected to ErgData suddenly say the workout is over before all meters are rowed?

Now that would be frustrating! Not exactly here. The ErgData program will ask if I have finished the workout if I stop rowing for any reason, but once you continue that message goes away and it continues to collect data. Did you lose bluetooth connection on either ergdata or on the PM5?

You might check with Concept2 - they troubleshoot a lot of these things.

Other than what K2 said I’ve never had this issue and I’ve been using ergdata for years. Something C2 might not tell you. If you are running the PM5 on battery it needs a pretty full battery to run correctly. I have my PM5 plugged in to a powered USB hub which gives it power. I’ve been doing this for a long time now and I don’t get any problems from the PM5. A powered hub is one that is plugged in to the wall. I think they did a great job with the PM5 but I also believe that it is doing too much for batteries. I use the cord I got way back with my PM3 but I’m sure any printer cord will do nicely. I bought a cheap USB hub and I run two PM5s plus my phone on it so the phone doesn’t get drained on me while rowing. I actually use my old iPhone 5S for my rowing phone. When my PM5 is plugged in it may not shut off. Actually I turn it off every time but for some reason it likes to turn on again. This hasn’t caused me any issues so I’ve never looked in to it.
I suppose you should also check that the little cord running from the flywheel to the PM5 is snugged in all the way.

Keep on rock’n!
