Snowrun 28-Dec-08

[Wookie]

Just an update on current situ as i might not have time to post again before the run.

The good news first.... Its looking like weve drastically decreased the time in which we were gonna buy the new bikes. Instead of sometime feb/march were looking to buy before Jan 1st !!! ekkk. All BM prices are going up and were going to try to get a deal before this time. So new bikes sometime very soon

The bad news.... We might have to get both bikes ready for PX before the 1st of jan !! This means a fair amount of work between the both bikes and to be honest i would not want to risk trashing the bikes before this time and jepodise the deal. So we might not make the run (which sucks).

Either way will try to post the sat night before the run and let you know.

Paul, you have pm re route

 

[PW Cymru]

Weather looks cold but sunny so should be a really good day out.

The Anti-clock route will be taking in Hay bluff just for the sadistic among you.

Clockwise route will miss this out (My choice).

I've attached the route for those with GPS and Adamneeds has volounteered to Tail end the anti-clock route

Hopefully we should meet approximately together in Llandovery.

Sorry havent found anything that can open a .gdb file but when i did a google serach it list the file as a 'Formula 1 Car Race 2001 Season01 File'.... Now im getting very worried about the route we might be taking ?!

 

[Wookie]

.gdb files can be viewed using the program below (GPSMapEdit.)

Doesnt show much details though.
Have you tried uploading the file to you GPS?

 

[PW Cymru]

The routes are in Garmin Mapsource format.

If you haven't got a Garmin they won't open.

Hi Paul. Have checked the weather and it will be too cold for me. The white fingers kick in below 8 degrees even with the heated grips and the heated gloves. Have a great day out, and catch up with you in the new year.

I am away at the moment and my mates putor hasn't got mapsource on it, so I can't open the anti-clock route to see if it the same as my anti-clock rouye on me satnav, so I will just have to go with my version and hope that everybody uses the drop off system okay

Hi Allan,

Nobody other that the lead should be following their GPS anyway so it shouldn't make any difference. You decide the route for the anti-clock group and they will follow.
