If you sync the Edge in training centre, you should see it as a ride there. You can then export it as a GPX or something else to view however you want.

Alternatively, this website will convert it into something else for you: http://www.gpsies.com/convert.do

Have you done a Reset since you recorded your ride?

I find that a ride isn't uploadable until I've done a reset on the Edge.

File > Receive from Device,

The ride will then appear in the History section (it will have the date against it). Right click it and then export.

Or email me the tcx file and I'll convert it for you

+1

I couldn't remember having to do that when I first got it so I'm glad it's not just me ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

ive tried the reset no joy.

i think after looking thru the instructions again i dont think i held the lap button long enough at the end i think i just did a lap press for a new lap and then turned it off

its still got the tcx file tho but i think it was user error as ive just realised that last weeks rides not in either when i used it ;-(

bloody thing lol

If the unit was recording and you haven't done a complete hard reset, then the ride data will defo still be in there.

If all esle fails download a copy of Sport Tracks ( http://www.zonefivesoftware.com/SportTracks/) and do a sync / receive from unit using that.

Sport Tracks is better than Training Center anyway IMHO

you missed out how it got from the GPS to the PC...
usually wires and a program are involved

is this something on a Mac ? Never heard of "My memory" before. When I plug in my Edge 205 it launches Training Centre which uploads the track...
