I've signed up for the london phoenix above.
I've got the memory of a goldfish and a terrible sense of direction, its quite good as I like getting lost but if I'm going out on a cycle I hate having to stop and look at maps and work out where I am and how to get where I want. So I bought a garmin edge 705, amazing machine still not got it totally dialed yet but its been brilliant so far, you plan a route in bikeroutetoaster then upload it and then follow the map on screen and it beeps at junctions and stuff telling you where to go. It is expensive but I would definately recomend one if you think you will use it alot.
Did a century yesterday and it made the whole ride really simple, even though I'd never been on the roads before, once I've got it set up to tell me in advance what way to go at a junction/turning rather than when I'm on it the rides will flow even better and you will be able to ride it like you've been there loads of times before.
