I do many rides that are out and back.
I've checked the calibration from the tools menu and there is never more than a slight change offered.
Should I ever update my profile?
If so how often? or better yet, what should I look for?
Check Calibration...how often
Re: Check Calibration...how often
Use the new Check Calibration feature in the iBike software. If you're seeing minor changes, then spend your time riding, not doing Cal Rides!

I'm sorry, I was not clear.
I am using the Check Calibration feature under the tools menu.
The result is only a slight change, and therefore I won't mess with it.
I haven't done a cal ride for months because I obviously have a good setup, and I've never ridden outside this many times in January.
Wattage goals will come sooner than I thought this year.
Right now I've got no problem with global warming.

Good, that's exactly the way to use the feature. You can expect small changes from ride to ride just due to the fact that the weather conditions never stay perfectly uniform during the coarse of the O&B ride. Even the unevenness of traffic can cause small variations. Don't worry about it and just ignore small differences keeping your profile as long as it is good. If the result is significantly different, or you see a trend where it is always off by the same amount in the same direction, then accept the update to your profile.Bike4Him wrote:I'm sorry, I was not clear.

But hopefully you will get to the point where you don't even bother checking.
