GoCycle
Some of my GoCycle cycling route guides cover National Cycle Network (NCN) routes, and you can get GPX route files for free off the Internet, so why should you buy my route guides? For starters, what you’ll get off the Internet is simply a GPX trail. My route guides consist of a highly detailed, printable PDF, a GPX file, and a TCX file. TCX files can contain far more information than GPX files, and I spend a great many hours preparing these.
If you used my GoCycle route guides, either on your phone, or your cycle computer, you will be told about the landscape you’re riding through. You’ll be told of places of interest, names of rivers, even how far before you can get water again. You could go create your own TCX file of the same route, but to get the same level of detail, you’ll spend weeks on it. Why do that, when for the price of a posh coffee you can get one of my guides?
You can buy National Cycle Route cycling route guides from Sustrans (they’re behind the National Cycle network) but my cycling route guides are far more detailed, yet sell for a fraction of the price. Grab yourself a bargain by getting my GoCycle route guides instead!
