staggiedog Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4ourtea Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perce Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Can you convert the file into .gpx format? These can be viewed with Google Earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizza5 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

wri5hty Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 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.

overthehill Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 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.
