Already booked out on the Saturday for a birding trip so Sunday maybe?
Please count me out

The votes are in and counted, thank you 😊 of we go....
Thought I'd canvas your thoughts for this Sunday's ride, firstly we have the wind out of the north & a bit colder too, so what do you fancy?
1) Upper Stowe, 45 or 53?
2) Equestrian Centre, 45 or a 50ish also?
3) anywhere else?.....
what's it to be, Looking forward to your responses? 🚵😂

Brilliant work there guys and you can also create a .gpx file etc by using the bottom r/h edit (...) button if you've created a route using garmin connect...

Can't read .gpx files, nothing works for me! do you have a garmin version at all please?

For my routes I update, remove etc so the Garmin links will not work, so if you have any problems, need one then just drop me a message with your intended destination and I'll sort one and include the .gpx file for other appliances.

For you Garmin users there is a new version of Garmin Express now (2023) and is only useable on a PC not a tablet etc, Garmin Connect is your only option for routing on a these.
