I've been struggling with mapmyride all day and have now mapped out my reversed Brighton ride - see Routes. Basically it doesn't differ much from the usual route but I've nipped down some little lanes on the way back in places
Have you tried using Mozilla Firefox rather than Internet Explorer???
It's a quick and easy download and really excellent for things like MapMyRide. using Internet explorer use to take me hours to map a ride - using Firefox done in minutes. Absolutely straight up - you'll be amazed by the difference. Promise.
Keep both browsers and use the one that works best for the website you're visiting.
Shall we schedule you training group Johnnies for a start at 10.00 (very civilised) via the direct route? That should put you in the Caf at Brighton in plenty of time for a 12.30 lunch
