Wahoo ELEMNT Ace (on Specialized E-Bikes)

Pretty much my approach to navigation.

Neighbors tell me that you can get through Pendleton by bike, largely on the old Pacific Highway through the base. But you'll need a gate pass in advance from their website, and even then you might get turned back on the day of.

But neighbors also say that the route through the base has some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in all of SoCal. And that's saying something! So I also hope to try it one day.

I'll definitely have to look into gate passes. This won't happen any time soon, but is something i am hoping to do eventually.

Thank you for the info!

Just a remark: It is to some extent a waste of an expensive device (I respect Jeremy's choice, though) not to make it a central device that is connected to the e-bike and a HRM. E-bike can be connected both to Wahoo and the Specialized app... (Wahoo is connected by ANT+ while the smartphone is Bluetooth).
Horses for courses. I record any of my activities on a Wahoo with transfer to Strava with all available information. One of the features I need the most is the Maintenance Log in Strava, which measures the use of the components such as the chains, cassettes, chainrings, brake pads and rotors, and tyres on my two e-bikes. Having my average and max leg power, cadence and calories for each ride is also important to me. Eventually, all these data come to Strava through my Wahoo. (I only don't use a HRM as the medications control my heart rate).

On the other hand (differently to Jeremy) I'm not interested at all how much assistance the e-bike gave me.

Here's the Komoot map of my tomorrow's ride I already have on my ACE.

Indeed, horses for courses!

We all have to find our way (no pun intended). What works for you, may not work for someone else and vice versa. All i can do is get as much info as possible and take it from there.

That's great that you can transfer a route from Kamoot to the Ace.

Thank you!
