Did a few more streets in South Lismore this afternoon. Mainly because it's dead flat and I was after an easy ride.
The area is a bit of a hole. Basically it floods easily so it's either cheap residential or industrial land.
There's still some stuff to do on the East side of the Bruxner Highway such as marking the Bunnings, parks etc, but at least the bulk of the streets on the West side of the highway are now done.
Probably doing hill sprints tomorrow, so the rest of East Lismore might get done.
Has anybody else noticed that mapping is really hard on a pushbike? The constant stop/start nature of it is seriously chewing into the life of the rear tyre and cassette. My current rear tyre (Specialized flack jacket 700x25C) looks to be about half way through it's life and it's only done 300km! Same with the rear cassette, it's on it's second chain (also replaced 300km ago) and is significantly more worn than it was when the chain was installed.

That doesn't sound too good. Maybe you need to check out some more heavy duty equipment?
I guess I can't really comment though because I do most of my mapping on foot. That's the benefit of high density areas I guess.

I think it's mainly because I'm heavy (105kg) and hence really hard on bike gear. Such is life.

Yep, being 'heavy' will burn through cassettes and chains :( .. My CRX4 is due for a new set after only ~1000 kms.
