The site is intended to be efficient, in terms of bandwidth. Not everybody has broadband to their computer, so multi-media content and graphics are minimal. Even the photo archive is built for speed. Each thumbnail image is 100 pixels wide, and is a link to the fullsize image.

The images were gleaned from all over, and shaped using Paint Shop Pro v6, a powerful yet inexpensive graphics program. There are more expensive packages out there, but this one does more than most people would ever need.

The entire site was coded using Pico (an ASCII text editor that runs under many 'Unix' variants) and to a lesser extent, Windows Notepad, another rudimentary text editor. There are HTML editing tools out there, but this way, only the HTML tags needed are used, further reducing bloat.

Liam Wescott has helped with the maps section of the website, adding new rides, and updating old ones. It's the part of the website that we get the most positive feedback about, too.

The site is hosted on a way cool Linux server at www.1and1.com.
Linux is the BOMB.
