That site is great!!! I just did my commute to work and the run that I do
at lunchtimes around the Tan. One of the BR guys will have to get keen and
put in the BR route.

I can't load it in either konqueror or firefox at present, until one
of my feature requests on the forum is dealt with.

Haven't tried opera, but I've only got opera installed on my 5 year
old laptop, which is even less likely able to deal with the large
number of points in an expedient fashion.

How is the server coping? I would imagine this kind of thing is
precisely the kind of thing you wouldn't want to be slashdotted^Waged.

I had a crack at it in Firefox but started getting those timeout errors
around Hurstbridge and gave up. Might give it a try in ... gasp shock
horror ... IE!

Heh. I'm rather amused that something that's only been mentioned here,
and spread by word of mouth, has made it to the UK, the US, Europe, and
Japan. (just to name countries and regions that I *know* have routes
posted.)

We definitely are going to need that search option soon. :-)

Has someone got some old wollen kit, Adadis rome's, a RoseBank
Stack-hat, and a busted up Huffy for me to perform this task with!? :)

I'll have to install some stealth SPD's in the romes and clipless
pedals on the Huffy so I can ITT away as they all chase me @ 22km/h :)

No problems yet... Luckily I fixed up a couple of sub-optimal db queries
over the weekend, though ;-)

Seeing as there are quite a few Queensland routes up on Bikely, I've
forwarded this article to the Courier Mail and suggested they pilfer
it.

Waiting, waiting ... coupla days ...

I actually did it myself before I read this post.......oh well. Wasn't too
sure on where the official finish is as I turn off early so I went along the
bouly to as far as the Kew Crits loop......let me know if this is wrong.
