Guides

Plan the route before you ride it

Six guides for riders who plan their own line, without gear lists or sponsored picks. They cover the work that decides whether a multi-day route holds together.

How to split a GPX into days without guessing

Pick break points by climbing, towns and bailouts, not by an equal share of kilometres. Includes the climb-adjusted distance rule and what to check after the split.

What belongs on a printable route card

Distance, climbing, turns, resupply and one bailout on a sheet you can read in the rain. What to leave off, and how to print and carry it.

How to make a printable cue sheet from a GPX

Eight to twenty cues a day, cumulative kilometres, bigger type, and a fold that fits a stem. How to cut a list you can read while moving.

GPX to TCX: turn prompts on a bike computer

Why a GPX stays quiet at the junction, what a TCX course point adds, and how to load it on a Garmin or Wahoo.

How to load a GPX onto a Wahoo ELEMNT

The Wahoo app, USB or MTP, and Strava sync: which path gives turn cues, the 200 km cue limit, and why a long route loads slowly.

Planning a multi-day gravel or bikepacking route

Day length, resupply gaps, sleep stops and bailouts. The four decisions that make a week work, with the European rules worth checking before you plan a night out.
