Tea? (Part 2)

Talk of the weather at the weekend makes me think about the rides I've got planned for Saturday and Sunday, which in turn makes me wonder (not for the first time) if I should cough up the cash for Memory Map.

I think it's going to at the weekend (except in Archie's neck of the woods where it will )

Forecast here is sunny and low wind at the weekend .................. so it will chuck it down then

I'd name names but I fear I'd get in trouble with TVC and Archie

Watch it Grandad, I've already been involved in one punch up round here today

My memory is so bad I would forget to use it

I hate to agree with Rocky, but I just use a page from an old map tucked in my back pocket.

I must admit when I go out I dont use maps these days, I either just follow signposts or just make it up as I go along. Except for Sportives or Audaxes and then I either follow colin or potsy or just download the .gpx file onto the Garmin 200 and follow the little back line.

My rides are planned with military precision. I'd get lost otherwise. I live right on the border of several OS maps, so taking them along gets a bit cumbersome. And grabbing and then stitching together screenshots of routes has got a bit tiresome. Fine for shorter rides, not so much for the longer ones. Especially when you've got to take into account the possibility of road closures and diversions.

I read that quickly as "Virgin Mary"...

Jo, could you treat yourself to one of those OS maps centred on your home? It's that, or some creative cutting and sellotaping with the ones you have...

I was going to suggest that. You can even get one with a personalised front cover, if you want to.

I have thought of that, but still regularly cycle off the map in all 3 directions And at £16.99 a pop, I can't help thinking that £100 for the whole of GB seems like a better plan.

This morning, someone asked me how old I am and it suddenly struck me that in 2.5 years time, my age will begin with a '6' - how did that happen!
