PS: as per the RL Post I'm always looking for your support & help from you as Ride Leaders, just let me know, TiA

Please note that many of the routes contained within this library will have been deleted, changed by there authors. But still some good ideas though.

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, Connect is your only option for routing on a these.
