May 17, 201016 yr No not the 2011 routes a bit early for that! This year I toured around the trial with my little friend GPS. It doubled up as a speedo stopwatch and I am sure there was a horn in there some place as well. Well what am I getting at, the device has recorded all the routes for the week and I have just finished downloading them onto Garmin conect where they can then be viewed on google maps and earth. Further to this it gives all my information for each day speeds, altitude etc etc....... the times are a bit vague because I had to start it running during my 30 mins maint. time in the morning. Here is Mondays route let me know if it works and if people want more I will upload all 6 days. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/32241787
May 17, 201016 yr Great use of a gadget! Interesting to see the speed fluctuate as the terrain changes - love to see the other days if you can bear tp put them up.
May 17, 201016 yr Author Max Speed 50.8 mph.......................Bet the old Beta was singing Yep most of these late in the day trying to get in on time! I did every time thanks Beta Will upload the rest the moro.
May 18, 201016 yr Can you convert the file into .gpx format? These can be viewed with Google Earth. Last button on screen ''Earth'' does it for you or below click on Google Earth and it converts automatically? Took an interesting route up the ''Brae'' over the tops of the roofs
May 18, 201016 yr Last button on screen ''Earth'' does it for you or below click on Google Earth and it converts automatically?Took an interesting route up the ''Brae'' over the tops of the roofs Don't seem to go full screen though? I've found the GPS accuracy tends to fall in valleys & in built up areas. I like the stats, 5300 feet of elevation gain / loss, that's a mile up & down. Wonder what Thursday looks like.
May 18, 201016 yr Here is Mondays route let me know if it works and if people want more I will upload all 6 days. I think I know a committee that might find all the stats pretty handy....if our Captain hasn't already got it sorted!
May 18, 201016 yr Sorry if this is a daft question, but do you feel a dip in performance in the bike at the higher elevations, or is it still not high enough too make any significant difference.
May 18, 201016 yr Author OK Folks that's all 6 days now uploaded. Monday http://connect.garmin.com/activity/32241787 Tuesday http://connect.garmin.com/activity/32241793 Wednesday http://connect.garmin.com/activity/32347709 Thursday http://connect.garmin.com/activity/32438610 Friday http://connect.garmin.com/activity/32819829 Saturday http://connect.garmin.com/activity/32819831 Enjoy
May 19, 201016 yr Sad I know - but total elevation gained (and lost) = 34,164 feet - that's like riding up Mt Everest and back down the other side and then up and down Ben Nevis for afters.

May 20, 201016 yr I could hear you chuckling as you typed that Mark.. Aye, the little wheels are spinning, I bet few more elevations make it back in next year, a trip over Annat looms.
