Stu Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I think it's helpful for less confident riders, who are nervous about riding in groups and/or have worries about holding people up to know that there are systems out there that will take account of the way in which they ride and that they won't get lost or left behind. I know that when I started out...riding in a group was a massive issue for me and I wanted as much information about an event as possible so I knew what to expect. fair point but the last thing you want is someone getting confused with what system each group is using and get it wrong ideally we all need to have a chat and decide on a system and all groups use that then it makes no difference if members swap groups half way through a ride etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devans Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Sounds like fun, abit of organisation keeps things smooth though for sure. Aslong as each group knows the route an has a back marker an lead rider there won't be any issues Can't wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 the start and finish is well out mate how many stops have you put on that route mate? is number 4 46-60 Hurdsfield Rd a stop point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akey Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Those are just waypoints mate, not stops planned on the route just waypoints to make it go where I wanted it do!The start points again were just to get a rough Idea as start stop will be the rally site, if you view the route on google maps it forms a sort of loop.Stops could be Cat'n'fiddle, chapple-le-frith and probably Baslow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Yeah I know that mate but the one I pointed out goes down a road and turns back around on itself just thought it was a stop point of some sort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 What sort of file is that Akey? its itn you use it on tomtom and garmin (although not sure if garmin supports itn) sat navs you plot routes using google maps using a program called TYRE and upload them to tomtom or garmin http://www.janboersma.nl/gett/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawatt Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Appreciate the work you guys are putting into this, but I was hoping to do some fast, B roads. Are those A roads busy and have regular police patrols or are they quiet. Not that I speed, much?. Just enjoy B roads more with less traffic and attention!!!

Guest akey Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Most B roads in this area are far from fast mate, I will look at some B road routes but what I wont know is how good they are, as B roads round here can rapidly become single track tractor roads without warning, great on an adventure bike but not so good on a sports bike.
