Today whilst researching my upcoming bike ride down the length of The Rhine I came across the website Bikely, this amazingly allows you to trace over Google Maps and generate gpx files<\/a> that my Garmin understands. I can thus plan the whole 1000mile route and let the Garmin Etrex <\/a>behave like a TomTom device to tell me where to go. Bikely can even follow roads and thus create really accurate files.<\/p>\n

An even better discovery was that the user “MockCyclist<\/a>” had even created a map with the whole route plotted. A fantastic starting point, I’m now modifying his file to cut out the ferries that MockCyclist had used in Rotterdam and some other points on The Rhine.<\/p>\n

I’m going to start from where I finished last year<\/a>, My apartment in Les Gets, probably around the 7th July. I have to be back for my birthday on the 28th!<\/p>\n

Here is the route so far:-
