Since the Garmin-sponsored Forum for the Edge 500 has been archived, I was looking this morning for others who have had the same experience with their unit and I came across this thread. I rode yesterday (Sunday) and uploaded data this morning. A couple of previous rides (last week and in Feb) showed up just fine in Garmin Connect but the ride from yesterday was nowhere to be seen. I searched and found the archived Garmin thread on potential DST problems (Edge 500 DST bug) – that got me thinking. I had experienced a similar problem last year and, sure enough, when I checked that date it was November 6 (fall back). Here’s what happened yesterday: the computer powered up normally and everything appeared fine, I hadn’t reset the previous ride from the week before so I reset the computer and all data fields zero’ed out. I normally do a reset after every ride but sometimes forget as on this occasion. Everything looked great during the ride. I reset the computer and powered down when I returned home. It’s not clear exactly where the problem is: were the data saved on the computer but lost due to a synching issue with Garmin Connect associated with the change to DST? If anyone has any insights on what contributes to this issue or how to avoid it (other than not riding on DST weekends!), I’d be grateful to hear about them. Also, I’m guessing that those data from yesterday’s ride (and the one in November) are lost – unless someone knows of a backdoor!
