I'll organise one starting in the New Year.

Not surprised you need a miserable face if you're riding with the Dulwich Paragon :wink:

[quote="mrpvt"]Rob, that is brilliant - how do you do that?


I go to google and type "elmers end chain gang", then I find the dulwich website and copy their link. 8)

They've used a peice of software called memory map to make the picture. They had another one for the RotFL. It's a good peice of software but not cheap. You have to first pay for the software and then buy the maps individually, the maps are OS and come in a variety of scales I use 1:25000. If you have a garmin device you can upload the route onto it and use as a primitive sat nav. It's not perfect so you still get the thrill of being lost occasionally. Having said that i've used it to guide me on runs, off-road rides and road rides and it's meant that I've found some good paths, road & trails etc that I wouldn't have previously known about. I've also found some really crappy paths, roads & trails that I wish I'd never known about. Styles don't show up on the maps I have.

Anyway, back to topic....

rob- there pretty similar, but it all depends on who shows up. if there are a few elites out its very hard, but usually the group will split, and you will end up with people of the same ability.

if its a normal one its not as hard as the recent training group. but still its good training.
