Flight Centre Epic
Hi,
Is anyone racing the flight centre epic in QLD 24th August? I'm looking to bum a lift to the race from brisbane or share car hire costs with someone.
Drop me an email or call me if either of these are possible.
Cheers
Seb

Full KML Demo
An example of what our all nodes KML looks like at the moment. Soon this will also include paths too and the old KMZ files will be retired. Well - as 'soon' as soon can mean around here!

Knee Injury - Help
OK, I know I've seen some of you guys with strapping around your knees so I'm looking for some suggestions. I did triathlons many centuries ago and stopped after being unable to resolve a knee injury which would flare up when riding. After many ceturies of not riding, I got into mountain biking about 4 years ago. Surprisingly, until now, I haven't experienced the same problem with my knee (I'm guessing because of the constant shifts in body weight when MTBing as against the fairly constant rotations on the road).

New Servers
New servers for NoBMoB?
I wish! No, just for the LHC. "The project is expected to generate 27 TB of raw data per day..." So a bit more than us, eh?!
Crazy pictures here:
El Cheapo GPS
We've had some talk about GPS lately, here's one for 180 bucks:

What is really rather good is that it has an electronic compass - a rare feature indeed. In case you don't know, without this a GPS can only tell which direction it's facing when moving.
What's the catch? Well, not specifically for riding or fitness so no NRM and no virtual partner and all that. The Edge is still the only one with these features from what I can tell.
Anyhow - I find this on the 'net:
