2024 SpotWalla Location Pages

SpotWalla provides a way to track groups of individual riders on a map. This allows the organisers of the event to see the locations of the riding field and to potentially take a useful / helpful interest in any tracked riders who may have fallen behind, gone off route, or who haven't arrived at the finish.
Use of these pages for our riders is not mandatory, but it can strongly help the organisers with various things such as:
  • providing notification to the kitchen when riders are likely to star to turn up at the finish
  • understanding who might have stopped for a break / rest, and knowing when they re-start their ride
  • understanding how far the field of riders may have spread

In the past, it has even helped to see what has happened to riders after they have been involved in an off, and for us to then be able to provide information to others who need to know.

SpotWalla works with full Satellite tracking systems (which use two way Satellite communication, sending location points, and emergency requests through the Satellite systems). It also works with cellphone based tracking apps which interface directly with SpotWalla.com 

We have setup SpotWalla location pages for our riders for each of our 4 rides, the join password for each of them is different and is shared with riders by email, once entered. - These emails have not yet been sent out for 2024 yet.

Here are the join links (without the required join passwords) for each of our rides:
  • NI1600, 12th October: spotwalla.com/lp/88b7e-4c5b4c-4ad7/join
  • NI800, 12th October: spotwalla.com/lp/8e96-af6aac-a4dd/join
  • 1KC Northern, 9th November: spotwalla.com/lp/1e1b-2070f54-bf10/join
  • 1KC Southern, 9th November: spotwalla.com/lp/d67a-2d2f2a4-ed40/join

When joining, please change the CODE for your location point to be your First initial, followed by the first two letters of your surname. For example, I, Chris Wiltshire would use CWi

Our data handling policy over this information:
These SpotWalla Location Pages are only viewable by the organisers of the event, we will not circulate the details required to view these pages to anyone else. You can of course, use SpotWalla to share your own location however you see fit, but we will not presume that you want us to give that information out to anyone else. - We will safeguard this information and treat it as 'private information'.
