I complained to them and their answer was that it was my fault for choosing a cheaper plan. If I were to upgrade then I’d get closer to 100%. The old site was a bloated mess of Wordpress and plugins. I hate Wordpress and yearned for something a little more simple. https://phased.co.uk/posts/new-book/ Mon, 06 Mar 2023 20:54:51 +0100 https://phased.co.uk/posts/new-book/ I’m A Cyclist Let Me Out Of Here This book chronicles my journey from a shirt wearing salary man to a green-behind-the-ears cycling author.

I’ve also tried every web based GPX editor under the sun and find each one of them lacking in some way. They either want money for premium features or don’t support the mapping layers that I want to use.
