We're hoping to work with Polar on a sponsorship of sorts for the VV  
rides. They are trying to penetrate the US market with their combo  
GPS/HRM units ... and ... the next gen will include a feature to  
download track logs to Google Earth with just a push of a button.  
(via infrared technology which is either embedded in the computer, or  
can be added through a USB port).

woohoo!
