I have a new Edge Explore 2. I was out on my 4th ride with it today. Near the end of my ride, I got to the Save/Discard screen. I meant to resume the ride after popping into a store, so I didn't hit either button.
Later I had to wake the Edge Explore 2 from sleep mode. When I did that, my ride was nowhere to be found. I connected it to my computer and looked in the Activities folder, but it's not there. I also tried a hard disk recovery tool (Recuva) to look for deleted files. It found a different activity but not my ride from today.
The mystery thickens when I look at Garmin Connect. On iOS, the app actually shows my intensity minutes from today!
On the Garmin Connect webpage, the Activities page says "Compare 0 of 4" activities next to the search box. But under the search box, there's only 3 activities showing up! Is my ride from today stuck in some synchronization limbo?
Where did my ride go--why is it not on the device? Does Garmin not cache a ride to its drive at all while it is recording? Why is there no Trash bin for discarded rides?
This is totally bizarre. I haven't had such an experience recording on any other device. I might have to go back to my Apple Watch + Strava setup.
