Re: Tarmacs Route Planner?
It's quite fun to add the same start and end points to various and see how they differ. eg, Kentmere to Coniston: OS vs Komoot vs RideWithGPS vs cycle.travel vs Tarmacs.

Re: Monks trod - wtf
as someone who dislikes cars and motorbikes, this is a terrible thing.
But the last time i went over the monks trod, it was in a terrible state, and cycling it or trying to was pretty crap.
so if any work done on it makes it more usable, well it could be seen as a good thing...... kind of.

Re: 1400 metre climb over 100km ??
i can put loads of routes together making the distance and height. but the one we have planned is a continuous climb with no descents.

Re: 1400 metre climb over 100km ??
sorry,i should have made it clearer. going touring in france in the summer.
1st days ride is 100km but climbing up to 1500 metres from a start at 100 metres.
Mrs T is a bit worried, so we were gonna try and few training rides.

Re: 1400 metre climb over 100km ??
doh, sorry for the idiocy.
rode the Pass of The Cattle a couple of years ago.
could do 2 in a day with low gearing, so this answers my question kind of.

Re: We live in a 'golden age' if your bike preferences aren't off the shelf
looks perfect to me mate. a proper usable bike.
and i love the fact that a odd bunch of bike parts can make such a nice thing, rather than buying a groupset complete.
