Hiptriptip

Trip-advice of the month

Wielerklassiekers

It's not really a surprise but there was a lot of activity in the theme group Cycling classics this month. After all, it is the season.

We selected the route of Quicker: Paris-Roubaix, the last 120 km.

Quicker added all the cobble parts along the track. Get this route and be well prepared to attack the Hell of the North.

Check out the route

It's a charming hotel with a spicy story.

This charity website organises a tour of 100 miles and one of 100 kms, in the area of Marlow, via the Chilterns & Thames Valley.

The Trackstick

A USB stick as GPS logger? Thats what the Trackstick II is.

Two AA batteries supply the energy GPS/USB stick, allowing you to record your position for a whole week.

Great if you want to record the whole track of your holliday.

You can define the time interval for the logging of your position: from 5 seconds to 15 minutes.

Later on, you can download the track and upload it here, edit the track, add pictures and POIs and share it with your friends.

Check out more information on this porduct from the provider Trackstick.com
