Which program do you use - I have found viking to be very good, but your issue may be differences between the GPS & phonerheicel wrote:Here are the Strava maps. I ended up using my Phone to complete the ride as the GPS died at 195km mark!

The program that combines the GPX seems to mess up the time stamp. So I did not bother combining them.
Keep encouraging him & you might have another Audax participantgrantw wrote:Well done, looks like a fun day out.

Ill have to try this out. Ive been using GPS Visualiser to join and reconvert my files, but as you may have noticed, most of the files that were reconverted come out with a total time of 30 something hours. However, it's good that it converts my GPX files(which are sometimes incompatible with Strava) to usable GPX files.find_bruce wrote:Which program do you use - I have found viking to be very good, but your issue may be differences between the GPS & phone

You shouldn't have any problems starting out in Audax, Rheicel, the Sydney guys are a nice bunch and there's heaps of rides on.

Just go to http://www.audax.org.au and checkout the online ride calender - you can limit by state and distance and most rides have a link to a map of some description and contact details for the ride organiser. If you see a ride you like the look of send the RO and email and have a chat.
The rides out of Hornsby are regularly getting 20 starters, so you'll find plenty of company on the road!

Looks like a good ride. What was the frustration? The last I drive to the Hunter Valley (August), we took Old Northern Rd to Wisemans Ferry and did the scenic trip up through Mangrove. All I remember was how bumpy it was, but it was also quite flat except the climb at the end to Mangrove.rheicel wrote:Another 200km today. This time with the Audax Guys.

If you want lots of climbs, try the BNCC 210km route. Basically it is 3 Gorges in both directions, plus Peats Ridge.

The ride is overall good, except that I did it with a pesky flu with a bit of a fever. I thought I just made my condition worst after the long ridequeequeg wrote:What was the frustration?

Yes that's 3,000m of climbing versus 2150m for the Audax ride yesterday. There is the Queen Stage 300km Audax ride with 11 climbs coming up on January 18.queequeg wrote:Looks like a good ride.

First I need to sort out my flu. If I am better on the 18th, I might give it a go! Are you doing this John?biker jk wrote:Yes that's 3,000m of climbing versus 2150m for the Audax ride yesterday. There is the Queen Stage 300km Audax ride with 11 climbs coming up on January 18.
