Welcome to the O2E 2011 Big Bike Ride website which contains everything you need to know about the event and route.
Very important: There are not going to be any route cards/maps handed out at this years event. Please use the information on this website to ensure that you have whatever it is you need in order to navigate the route.
As always, my recommendation is to use a GPS cycle computer or GPS enabled phone capable of showing a pre-planned route as it’s then simply a case of following a line. This takes all the stress out of navigating, allows you to concentrate on the ride and (hopefully) means you don’t get lost and cycle more miles than you needed to. For more information on how to do this please visit the “Using a GPS” page.
If you don’t wish to use a GPS then please make sure you pay close attention to the route and have plenty of notes as there are lots of junctions on this year’s route. We also use a lot more dedicated cycle paths.
If you have any questions, then please use the comment form at the bottom of any page and I’ll do my best to answer them.
Regards,
Rafe (route planner, unless it’s wrong in which case Kev did it)
