I want to buy a GPS system for my husband and my mind is just spinning with all the options out there - I'm looking for recommendations. He already has a bike computer tracking his time and distance - so he doesn't really need the sport functions, just the navigation. We live in Ecuador and he rides in very remote places - my greatest concern (because it has already happened) is him getting lost. I want him to have a system that will help him to get himself back home if he gets off track - getting lost in the jungle out here is not a sweet adventure, it has the potential to be a fatal one.

Hey Rob,

Sad days for mtb riding here in melburg. While you’re enjoying trail upgrades over there, we are going backwards. I got back from 3 weeks in Tokyo 1 ½ weeks ago, holidays were awesome.
Went for my 1st ride in 5 weeks last wkend to find that parks victoria has bulldozed most of the jumps and all the bigger jumps at Lysterfield. Apparently, due to the number of people being carted off in ambulances.
So thanks to all the idiots who can’t read the signs at the head of the advanced trails, warning them of obstacles, and proceed to fuck up, my local trails are fucked.

Hi Team..

I've been been a downhiller for most of my cycling years and have recently given it up for lack of value.. (tired of 2 minute runs and then 20 minutes pushing) Sooo.... I would like to buy a mid range travel bike that I can pedal some distance but still be able to bomb it down some single trail and a few jumps... I have a 2012 XTC with slicks that I commute on and rarely take to the trails (kalamunda etc) but am looking for something more fun with more travel. Anyway, with all this in mind I have my eye on this years new Giant Trance Advanced 1.
