Figured since I had the fitting I should post a photo of the results along with a ride report. So here is the photo:
This past Friday the weather was nice so I cut out of work a bit early. It gave me enough time to do one of the longer routes where I live. It is a really nice 36.2 mile route around the southern part of Aquidneck Island in Rhode Island heading through Newport onto Ocean Dr. Traffic was a little heavy in parts as some of the tourists were out driving around. On a blind corner, I almost ran into the back of a tour trolley that had just stopped near a farm.... "Serenity Now"! The sun was out in force until I hit mile 30 passing the beaches. The wind had shifted, the air cooled off, and it brought the fog in. The fog/mist eliminated the sun which dropped the temperatures 10-15 degrees immediately. My speed took a huge hit. I lost a full .5-.7 mph average on the last 5 miles.
Result: 36.2 miles, 1:51 minutes, 19.57 mph (Garming said 20.2 mph at the first 31 miles)
Fairly inline with my 10 mile Computrainer TT results.

Sounds like you have some pretty nice places to ride....Time Trial position in Garmin gear - appropriate I would think given the street cred of the time triallists in the team.
Haha... Wish I was remotely close to how fast they are. Actually, the gear was a give from my loving wife this past year. It is actually my newest jersey so due to the weight loss I've had, it's the one that fits me the best.
