All SE London & England Cycle Stores, Mapped for your Garmin

I wanted to create a list of all bike shops in SE that was easily accessible, as a custom POI list in the Garmin.
I.e. - every cycle shop in surrey or Sussex (last weekend I tried to navigate to an Evans after my last inner tube went and I had to patch it up and pump it using crap hand pump, following the most beautiful example of a pothole that Surrey CC can ever hope to surprise you with, only when I used the Garmin City Nav waypoint and got there, it no longer existed.... This wouldn't have happened if I had my mobile with me, but alas I didn't, and so had to rely on the Garmin, which eventually led me to the excellent Pearsons...!
So, I've created an Excel Sheet, and the GPX files which you can load directly into your Garmin following the instructions using this link from POI factory. All you need is the POI Loader and the file folder setup correctly, it's pretty easy. http://www.poi-factory.com/learn/garmin
The Excel Sheet, and the GPX files of Cycle Shops plus a cheeky one of some well known Coffee Shops worth a detour for, is here. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wyl5ckphcn95513/hdGmo6zope. Hopefully people will be pleased there isn't a single Halfords on there, but there are some Evans'....
The Image of it is here, and also in the dropbox file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/xpvi3i91dg9rrxn/Capture.JPG
If there are any issues with the addresses, or you would like any more added please suggest them in the format in the excel sheet and I can get them added.
I don't see why it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a complete list of all the UK's cycle shops. I think the next step would be to do Central London.
Also, another thing would be to do a complete list of killer hills, or excellent waypoints etc to load in. Surrey & Sussex would be ideal for me as that's my usual stomping ground.
Cheers,
Louis.
