Really dull question but... when you guys are looking at routes for events where they give you the GPX, what's your process? Work out places to eat/drink, places you might sleep, any points of concern etc.?
I'm doing this event (500km) in a couple of months and have the route so have broken it down as I would a multi-day ride. Worked out where there's shops, picked a couple of spots I might sleep (event provided or towns with a few hotels) and that's it. Doesn't feel very scientific.
Well, what's the event? What else do you need to know the location of to ride it? What are your aims - win or finish? ie. are you planning for where to eat or are you planning where to attack?
