Hilly Ride

Weather forecast is slightly warmer and hopefully the wind will not be as strong as last weekend.

vistaed · « **Reply #52 on:** 03 February, 2015, 11:05:32 pm »

Looking forward to it, as I really like this route. It's a 7.30am start isn't it?

Ah yeah for me it is, not so much for Rafe who has never experienced the Cambrians! Or even Malvern. However, other than Llancloudy and the Somerset Monument climb, maybe one after Sapperton, the rest are pretty spinney so I am sure he will be fine.

It's a fab ride

So what is the start time for this one? Is it the 7 and 8 am starts as normal? Or is it a 7:30 start?

Bikehike will do it.

Load first file, click options, select merge routes, load next file, click options, select merge routes, etc etc....

Banjo · « **Reply #63 on:** 04 February, 2015, 08:50:05 pm »

I just loaded up the 4 seperate tracks. As each leg finishes at a control its no problem selecting the next one or am I missing something ?

I've plotted it on Ride with GPS, you can download a TCX/GPX file from there.

If you are using google maps to navigate to the Long Stay car park on Gander Lane off CHurch Street, be aware that there is another Gander Lane just off the A46/A435. This is about 10 km from Tewkesbury itself.

Charlie Boy · « **Reply #66 on:** 04 February, 2015, 10:14:36 pm »

Thanks all. Sorted now.

Clemo · « **Reply #67 on:** 04 February, 2015, 10:19:26 pm »

I'm using the ones supplied although I have a full route file as well, I find it nice to break down the ride into segments so that I don't look at the Garmin and think damn I have got 85 miles to go, and my head falling off.
