naah, no-one can help you, try John Wright

There always has to be one, eh Patch?? Stop ruining our thread, and for your info, I just got it up (the map)

Attached is the whole route as a jpg, had to zip it, because it is slightly over the piccy limits. There are "S" on the map, that would stand for a stop. I think all turns have been arrowed, if turns haven't, it should mean that that is the main road, ie, following the centre line, you'll be fine.

Took me 3 attempts, and close on to a full work day to do the 3 tries (shoulda got buggy or sniper to do it

)

What do you need??

The map is already over 3500x3500, so detail was going to be hard, but it is zoomed in enough to have road names etc.

Come on the saturday ride if you want to see the route.

edit: aff-man, go play with Quartida, you'll end up with less bruises

:spudwave:

Attended our Ulysses/ACC meeting this morning. The outcome is that our introductory flyers/cards should be ready by the end of this week. They explain a bit about an offer that Ulysses and ACC have put together for Basic Training and Refresher Training, with a discount of $20.00

What say I bring 'em along on Sunday for anyone who might be interested.

They are being printed as I type, so I should have 'em on Friday. Cutting it fine , I know but fingers crossed that I'll have 'em in time.

Does anyone who knows where they're going want to meet at Auckland domain and go straight to Botany downs BP ? (If not it doesn't matter - I will find my way regardless, but it'd make it easier if I didn't need to...)

Bit outta my way really... but a few people will be coming through the CBD and should be able to meet you somewhere.
