Karen Ramsay is handy at reading a map,but she found plotting a route was a whole other kettle of fish.
It seemed simple enough: organisea surprise weekend riding for hubby Dave’s birthday.
Armed with Google Maps and the idea of trying to include some tracks he likes to ride on his birthday each year, I thought it’d be easy to plan a special couple of days.
That was my first mistake.
Hard work
A map just looks like a whole lot of squiggly lines. There’s so many roads and tracks and trails out there. How do you know where to begin? Or to quote a C.W. McCall song, the roads looked like ‘a whole bunch a Zs and Ws’. I had no idea which ones were easy and which ones needed the skills of a super enduro rider to conquer.
