How do we know its not all hot air? GPS Tracking

Obivously there is a concern that the 205 miles is too much and we wont be able to manage it. But we're In a foreign country with no "reliable" witnesses. So how do we prove we did the full distance and that we did it on bikes?


Simple, GPS Tracking. The company I work for has given us some GPS tracking devices which will be able to track and map our progress through the cycle over the 4 days.

This has a two-fold effect; it means you guys can tell exactly what we're doing; how fast we're going; what direction; and give a total distance. It also encourages us on our cycle, after all we know we cant slack off if a few hundred people are monitoring our progress daily.


Its all a bit technical - which I'd like to explain to you but I've long since given up on the technical explanation blog and decided to go with a more discursive one. If you want to know more ask http://www.irw.co.uk/ about Hawkeye and tracking a gps smart phone.


It's not about advertising but about ensuring that we remain motivated through possibly the best experience of our lives. There will be a lot of pain involved for the riders over the 4 days. I can just imagine though the feeling of elation and happiness as we arrive in oslo on day 4 and promptly collapse from fatigue. Yeah; we wont be able to sit for a week but it'll all be worth it.
