Hope that helps. You should be able to find a You Tube video and/or a User Manual online that you can download.

When you get on the rally find someone with a Garmin to show you how to operate it to guide you round the course. Martin Green is better at this than me as I don’t use mine very often and usually forget what to do until I have practised a couple of times.

When you have the files in Garmin connect open each gpx file (called “courses” in Garmin terminology. You will find the list of courses hidden in the “More” menu (three dots) and then in “Training and Planning” then “Courses”. Open each in turn (each will show a small scale map) and click the Send to Garmin icon which is a small blue arrow pointinf at a watch. Then you need to connect your Garmin to the PC by bluetooth or cable. It will show connected in the home menu of the Connect app. Then you just need to activate the “Synch”. On my iPad it takes a while and looks like nothing is happening but eventually the “courses” will appear on the Garmin.

You need the “Garmin Connect” application on your laptop. Drag and drop each gpx file onto the Garmin Connect app. Or find some way of getting the files to the app. I am not sure with a PC because I use a Mac or iPad but you should find help on You Tube.

Great ideas keep them coming, was wondering what is the best mount for phone on the front of the bike what does everyone use for route planning?

Jeff, extraordinary and wonderful to hear that crossing the Golden Gate Bridge got you into tandemming! Wishing you happy travels in Europe. We are currently in Puglia but sadly on 4 wheels not 2 and will soon return home to Hampshire, England.

I'm disappointed by the quality of scammer my advert attracted. Not just a piece of poo for being a scammer but a hapless clown of one too. Standard routine with the cheque. No request for information, just the offer that an 'agent' would collect the tandem on his behalf. Yes we all use an 'agent' w more ...

Have you the date correct? Because I do not have a Time Machine so posting that there is a ride at 18:02 on the 12th July with the ride starting at 10:30 on the 12th July is impossible. I think you must have the date wrong??

Just a note of thanks to everybody who attended TCN2025 at Tanners Park Farm. It is quite a task to organise a rally, as many of you know, but it was great to see everyone enjoying themselves for a whole week. The site staff would really appreciate it if you could post a review on Trip advisor. Also more ...

I know life is busy (I've been locumming this week) but if you have time and pictures, can you add them to the revant ride on the website. It's reasonably easy, just drag and drop or choose file. A description is really helpful. I've done NE Medium and it looks great
