Over the course of an eight-day, 750-mile race, a cyclist processes countless pieces of information. In the Amgen Tour of California last month, cyclist Travis McCabe was able to track his heart rate, calories burned, elevation and UV exposure, among others, with the Microsoft Band 2.
Despite the breadth of information the band relays during a ride, the Holowesko-Citadel racing team rider and second-year Tour of California participant said he found the band particularly valuable off the bike.
“What I liked the most was the ability to monitor my sleep and my sleeping patterns,” McCabe said.
