After much effort with dodgy computers I’ve stitched together all 10 days of my travel to Les Gets<\/a>. Joost at Everytrail<\/a> listened to their customers and have now enabled importing pictures from Picasa. So here is the trip with all the photos beautifully geotagged. The GPS<\/a> data is down to street level so you can see every turn and mistake I made.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately the GPS height data is very ‘noisy’ and Everytrail doesnt seem to have any statistical smoothing<\/a>,\u00a0 so the ascent\/descent numbers are\u00a0 wildly out. It says I climbed 57,653 feet and descended 56,402 feet \ud83d\ude41 (Although the overall effect is not bad as it implies I’m at 1251 feet whereas I’m at 3800 feet) However, the trip profiles are correct.<\/p>\n

The cyclometer displayed a distance of 779 miles and the GPS 801 miles, The boat covered 21 miles where i didn’t pedal \ud83d\ude42 So pretty amazingly the correlation was spot on!<\/p>\n

The moving average for the whole trip was 10.7mph and the overall average including stops when travelling was 7.9mph. So my biking is just over 3 times faster than me walking!<\/p>\n

Here it is:-<\/p>\n
