Cheers Nestle Rob those stats make interesting reading

My guesstimate at the end of the ride was about 12 miles

And if it's only a few feet out i don't think thats too bad

Do GPS gadgets still get confused by trees etc?

Also i now know why i was out of breath - that's not a bad average speed given we stopped for puncture and there are about 10 gates

Shall we start a new thread for this weeks travel arrangements

Hi Paul

I found my car eventually in a big hole, apparently the altimeter works to +/- 25ft accuracy. Although I do like the sound of +600mph!!

Mark, the GPS doesn't seem to get too confused in trees. It worked pretty well in Dalby when i was last there. There is a speed/distance sensor (and cadence) included with it, i just didn't see the point on a full sus as it mounts to the crank arm and chain stay.

Don't think I can make Wed this week

Rob

"Do GPS gadgets still get confused by trees etc?"

The Garmin Edge does a bit, but generally it'll just autopause until it gets the signal back. If you have the speed/cadence sensor it doesn't autopause but will simply leave a gap where it knows you're moving but isn't sure where until it regains a signal! I only use it on the road as a glorified bike computer (useful for the data save'n'download capability) - I'm not sure how trees would affect the use for navigation.
