Dick Turpin's Little Jaunt 100km permanent audax event

This page is for downloading alternative versions of the GPS files for this, Tom Deakins' permanent event, nominally starting from Great Dunmow.

This permanent event is likely to be used in reverse for ACME's Betweenmas group permanent ride on Saturday, 28 December 2024 — or indeed 29th or 30th depending on the weather.  YACF chatter here.

The GPS Files — all year

This is a PERMANENT event, which can be started at any control on the route, and ridden in either direction.

IMPORTANT — this event has winter-friendly options along mostly gritted main roads.  DOWNLOAD THE VERSION(s) YOU NEED! You are able to load all versions onto your device, the screen-names are specific and different for the four versions.

NOTE — due to Saffron Walden's one-way system, and limitations of GPS files for including alternative routes, there are options for walking bikes thru town and avoiding a possibly unnecessary short climb and bonus kilometre, particularly on the reverse routes — do your homework, or ride the distance!

IMPORTANT — make sure you understand which version of the following GPS files are most suitable for your device.

  • Garmin Edge devices — new 500, new 700, 800/810/820, 1000, 1030 — use TCX; 10,000 points should be okay
  • The RideWithGPS IQ App also allows direct download from the pinned track to the latest Garmin Edge units with mobile connection
  • Older Garmin Edge devices — you're in a murky area in that TCX should work, but you may get a more reliable result from GPX; 10,000 points should be okay
  • Wahoo devices — TCX 10k, or "pin" the RideWithGPS route
  • Older Garmin devices — GPX and either 250-point or 500-point depending on which device.

Make sure you test these files out on your device before you start!

The full-route files are provided as a single TCX or GPX each.  However, the rest of the GPS routes, where the route is split into multiple GPS files, are provided as a ZIP file for each format — you require all of the files in the ZIP file!

There are additional notes in the organiser's notes and routesheet, including cautions and alternative routes. It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with the route and any reported hazards before you start, especially as none of this information is included in the GPS files!
