Great success. Still just banking on being J's best mate and then it's impossible to be lost. Right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ill have a garmin 64s on my bike displaying this incase people get lost but if anyone else has some form of garmin GPS and wants to know where we are going each day download the GPX file from my dropbox in the link below and just chuck it in ghee (to your device). https://www.dropbox.com/s/l5aoqezgsao409k/Te Uruwera ride.gpx?dl=0 Captain bliz My man! Thats cool, I'm still a little hopeless on GPS stuff. Your route is doing something a little strange around Tuai, but is minor and pretty self explanatory.

That one is pretty well correct, except for a stretch between Matahina Dam and Kopuriki, that google wouldn't let me route over no matter what I tried. I'll aim for a regrouping at this point though. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MopedNZ 5,678 Report post Posted November 25, 2019 Also; a good watch for those who haven't come. This is the first year. We had a whopping 14 riders. Different route in 2019 for some of it but it was still loose. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
