The logistics of the G B C is very hard ! Every day of the 4 days theres a different route for the (approx dist ) 6 / 10 /15 / 26 miles ! But what that says is 'you' wont get bored because different sceinery each day & challenges along the way !(my poor MB is knackered doing reccy runs )

I'm beginning to get excited about this now. Just need to get some serious mileage in the next month!

One question. When the cycle routes are finalised and published will there be a GPS version to download to garmin type devises? Means less chance of me doing my usual trick getting lost on the day!

Island if you manage to get lost even without gps 'we will collect you ' the way marker signs are brilliant & even a blind bloke with glasses 'like me' there very easy to see.
