But having to make (or buy) a map board does put me off a bit.
Doesn’t take long or cost much.
50p for a cheapo plastic chopping board. A couple of quid for some bulldog clips. Punch a few holes through the board so you can zip tie it to the bars. Attach the map using the bulldog clips. Job done. Looks crap, but who cares?
Rightplacerighttime – I did the recent Trailtrax too – glad you enjoyed it! A well thought-out set of checkpoints that rewarded good planning.
I enjoy them because its not just one set of skills needed, its three – route planning, navigation on the fly, riding fast. Not everyone’s cup of tea but then what event is?
