I am entering a sportive in a few weeks time and I want to give it a test run this weekend as it will be the longest ride i've done for quite a while. The map on the website is too small to be of any use so I requested a bigger map. They have sent me the GPX file. I don't have a garmin or anything, Is there an easy free website/program I can use to convert a gpx to a map or something more usefull. i've just tried maplorer.com but it seems to be very confused, either that or the gpx i've been sent is corrupt

I'm very close to buying this, but only because I can't find anything else for the same sort of price in my size, I've kind of talked myself into it. Is there anything I should be looking at? Also can any anyone recommend a cap for someone with a larger than average head? I currently have a rapha one I never wear because it gives me a headache after about 45 minutes.

Cheers Mark, went out on it for a quick spin on Sunday between thunderstorms, fit seems ok to me, I'm sure it's not perfect but it's one of the most comfortable bikes I've had. I am useless at gears, lots of changing up and down, looking down at the cassette, spinning out, changing up slowing down, changing down again.

There was a clincher Hed 650 disc on here that I was tempted by but I can't really afford it this month. I'm going to start hoarding all the rad 650 clinchers I can find.
Where can I get a plain black water bottle thats not totally cheap and nasty? Or better still something black,red,blue and yellow?

Cheers for all the comments guys. Turned out better than expected.
@SWijland I've not really had a chance to ride it in anger yet but the hed3's seem pretty stiff to me.
@Breso I'm running 53-39 and 11-28. I'm not too sure how much the wheels effect the gearing, once you're on it you forget it 650c, but I'm sure 53/11 will be enough for me.
