New RAC Map
I wanted to make a map of the ride that uses real GPS data and would work with just a web browser and not require Google Earth.
Check this out:

This uses Google maps with an overlay of the route we took. The data comes from a rider’s GPS device, so it is very accurate.
All of the roads we took are marked and you can zoom and pan over the whole ride. Click on Satellite view or Hybrid to get a neat view of some of the terrain.
Wow! That is awesome Declan. You guys had some pretty tough rides.
Wow, really cool data, and ability to plot it. Makes me want to put batteries in my GPS, and start recording things again. 😀
