[potsy]

Er, we use a map.

It'll never catch on

Bikely, bikeroutetoaster, couldn't remember which one stopped saving rides. Bikeroutetoaster did - forgot Bikely ! Doh.

 

[fossyant]

Er, we use a map.

Eh, Compass and Sextant too ?

Ps I don't use the Garmin round here to navigate usually - i know most roads, just use it to avoid the killer hills with my shoulder !!!

 

[fossyant]

Right

I've dropped it into bikely but the file size is still too high.

[potsy]

Right

BIKELY ROUTE - 106km / 65 miles !!!

Err, that looks quite a large file too

Don't think any one is going to get lost on this ride. If you get separated from the main group just listen for the massed beeping from the gaggle of Garmins

I thought we were just going for a ride around Cheshire , looking at the last cpl of pages regarding posts on mapping and downloads, i would have thought there is more brain power going on here sorting out the route to Jodrell bank, than there is actually in Jodrell bank plotting galaxy's and black holes etc.

 

[fossyant]

Cheshire is a black hole. You can spend hours going no-where - Peover, Over Peover, Greater Peover, oh and it's not pronounced "Pee Over" - its PEE-VER - locals will scalp you - bit posh !

PS I know where we are going without the GPS, and you can't miss the big dish when near.

Struggling to upload route from Bikely - Garmin Connect doesn't like the .gpx file. Any ideas folks?

Try this baby - 361 trackpoints!

 

[lanternerouge]

Looking at map, can't believe it starts under a mile from my flat! However I don't live there any more.... might get the train to Stocky

 

[potsy]

Try this baby - 361 trackpoints!

Still might be better to try TF's way though

 

[ColinJ]

Hang on - I'm going to move some of the trackpoints to line up better with the junctions! (I forgot to do it after my meal.)

 

[potsy]

I'm tempted to do the whole ride if I feel OK on the day, was going to peel off after Tatton Park, would be close to 80 miles if I do
Will delete all my Garmin downloads tomorrow and see what Colin comes up with

 

[fossyant]

Ha, I'll do the 70 miles for me - just 2.5 from start finish - time limit will be up - if you know what I mean - Its been on the Family calendar for ages. Really think Frank needs an outing, what ever weather
