New stem and new computer test

I bought a new stem recently, and beyond trialing in on the rollers, I haven’t been able to get out on a ride to give it a fair test. Observations, much better fit than the previous stem. Dropped from the stock Cervelo 90mm stem to an 80mm stem. My arms, neck and hands are noticeably more comfortable, and I can stay in aero tuck for longer before my back begins to yell at me. Happy days. I feel like I’m riding more on the nose of the saddle though, which is likely because I moved the saddle back based on an AI fit, and it was a bad adjustment. I’ll move it back prior to my next ride.

As for the computer, I like it, though don’t have any previous experience with one. I liked that it auto paused at stops, wasn’t expecting that. Also liked the calorie count, which I didn’t realize it had. Heart rate monitor was new, but not uncomfortable, and the data access on ride was fun to see. I need to figure out the best display to have it on or how to quickly swap between them, as I kept getting lost looking for either speed or gradient or heart rate or map. It has a lap count that I need to disable if I can.

As for the ride, clearly I’m not at my pre winter slumber endurance. Can’t wait to get some more miles back in my legs and go on an adventure.
