Yeah thanks for the ride to Waterfall guys - couldn't have done it without you.
Sorry that no one came with me to Stanwell Tops. You all missed out on something really special. I've never seen whales and dolphins somersaulting in unison - truly amazing.
Next time, make the effort

I've done the 3.0 to 3.2 upgrade. No issues (yet). I think it was mostly for power meter compatibility and I don't have one of those.
A slightly different startup screen, otherwise I can't tell the difference.
Sadly my speed hasn't improved as a result of the upgrade.
