No idea - the magazine just says 'scan this QR code to access the
relevant ride guide on a smartphone or tablet', which is why it took me
this long to get round to discovering the actual URL of the site
involved so that I could attempt to put a GPX file into RiscOSM! But
it's entirely possible the download was only temporary and associated
with that issue, or that it *only* works with smartphones and tablets.
I've never actually tried to get data for any of their suggested rides
before.
