GPS tracking testing

I am now testing GPS tracking, which is something I would have loved to have done last year, but I did not have the correct mobile phone for doing it. I do know when doing the cycle, it should work most of the time, other then when in the Highlands of Scotland, when your very lucky to get a network, well with Orange anyway.

If you want this for your own website, the code can be found at http://www.google.com/latitude/apps/badge

Some previously unseen photos

Below are some previously unseen photos from the End2End cycle. Thanks so much to Clive for emailing them to me!

I met him on day 8, while cycling from Carlisle to Slaidburn. Then we raced each other, to Land’s End, but both going a different route.

Team 2011 update

Below are just some of the lads hoping to do the End2End cycle in 2011. Since the cycle is still a good while, away I am sure that some of them will pull put before that.

We’re also starting to look for new sponsors.  Here are some of the reasons you may want to sponsor us:-

  • Your company name and/or logo will go on this website.
  • It will go on our cycling jerseys which will wear every day, while doing the End2End cycle.
  • It’s a good way, to get your name in local new papers.
