I just drag and drop the gpx file from my gps and into Google Earth.

I can't get the GPS and Google Earth to sync properly.
I think its a mac thing.

Thats Rob.
Sometimes I do give it to him for riding a bit like a girl. (no offence to girls intended)
He hardly ever stands up and he didn't even want to tackle that hill.
Tried to talk me out of it. No chance.
Once I'm up the top, well, he has to follow or be labelled a big girls blouse.

But, he is remarkably fast on even the most rutted and rocky tracks.
Faster than me and sometimes faster than guys on much better bikes.

Email me a couple of files and I'll do the rounds. I like the areas around the hills.
