Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Mines going to grow, I've been told about some tunnels that I can ride through South of Market Harborough, turns out they are on a cycle path that runs direct to Northampton, so next week hoping to build it into Junes imperial century. Also there is a nice big space around Corby that I have never ridden.

You lucky thing. Hope you have fun.
 
@Nigelnaturist
I think you will really like the info that http://www.jonathanokeeffe.com/strava/annualSummary.php this link will eventually generate. Loads of stats and breakdowns available... :biggrin:
 
OK - I know I don't count as a newbie etc, but this is what I have managed since I got a garmin in Dec 2012 so is most of my return to cycling after the dog redesigned my left leg...

I have had to cut out Portsmouth, Scotland (sorry @Mo1959 ), Lancashire, and some of my welsh rides (sorry @welsh dragon )... oh and I think I cut off some of the Pennies as well from my rides, not to mention the ones in north Manchester...

I don't seem to go north of the Manchester ship canal much... might have to work on that one!

You can see I do not go much on towards London apart from Bushy and Richmond Parks

This is only missing the one excursion to the south Downs
I have of course lived in thwo different locations due to the flooding The are both near the conglomeration of reservoirs
EDIT All since 1st August 2013.

some of that covers my old territory (out towards Godalming, Farnham and Haslemere)...
How's your house doing? Any chance of you being back in there soon?

You will know the hill up by Farnham Castle then
The house , when dry needs another 6-8 weeks
Guess? September
 
Location
Pontefract
Blimey you two. That looks like a lot of spaghetti. Good god. Theres no more room left on those maps is there?
I keep looking, still a load of local estate roads to do, tend to stay away from cul-de-sac's though (do enough u turns as it is), I could go west a little more now I can plan things better.
This was last years York W.N.B.R. (this year its a week Friday if anyone wants to attend)

yep - but know much worse climbs in and around the area... :smile: used to live out between Elstead and Milford.

Tis always surprising how long modern houses need to dry out. When I lived in the lakes, one of the houses had a spring that flowed underneath it, only occasionally it flowed through it instead. We used to open the back door and front door and it would just flow through. Drying out took no time at all because everything was rock - literally. Though I think the term is probably stone but the house was designed to withstand it... it was not however designed with central heating in mind! only open fires and 3 foot thick stone walls!
 
Just found that the route for L2B is now on the BHF website
I clicked on download a GPF and what came as a fit file
It loads into the Garmin OK, cannot load into Strava, but I can look at it in RWGPS

Nothing unexpected about it
