Tour de France

[Frank Pembleton]

yeah, I have an interest in seeing some of the mountain stages. I also have an interest in finding some of the best riding routes in the world ... to simply state that I am a total map fanatic is an understatement, and riding on sacred ground and being able to map my journey at the same time is nirvana.

Anyway, awhile back I bought a Garmin Edge GPS system for my bike(s) and you can import your rides into these neat mapping programs.

Actually one of the best programs for this "Ascent" is available only for Mac

-- be sure to check out the example files, you can even take the data and export it into Google Earth and do a "fly-by"

I've even posted some of my rides here:
