Will the route sheet for the Derby 150 be available to download before the event, please? If so it can be printed off and made waterproof, best to be pessimistic, before the event.

Last time it was given to us in a waterproof pouch

I was going to be cheeky and ask Steve G for the route in advance so I could programme it into my sat-nav. I could then have made the route downloadable for everyone else who purchased those cheap Garmin sat-navs from Aldi last year.

Mind you, I've only ever successfully planned a whole route using Garmin's programme once, and even that had it's little quirks. I'm not sure I would trust myself to issue a route that I programmed for others to rely on.

Funny how time fogs the memory

Some of this year's route wasn't recognised by my sat nave, even though I was driving along the road at the time

A ride out with a bit if grass tracking... I think I'm going to enjoy it

No you will get the route and a (hopefully) waterproof folder when you check in

Thanks for all your hard work behind the scenes, Steve. This sort of thing doesn't organise itself.
