TyTass Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Well, we're officially up to 50 with reservations! However, I may have missed a few friends who might be coming along with some of you and of course there will certainly be a few cancellations (which I hope are very few, to change the recent trend). No matter what, it'll be a great time as usual. It's a great group of folks! Link to comment

TyTass Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 OK, I was reaching over a half-wall at work to pull a print job off the printer ... new printer means a longer reach. I had to hop to reach ... came down on my rib. Crack! Link to comment

BFish Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 As usual work has gotten into the way of me making this trip. I could sneak out for a couple days, but it's just doesn't make sense. I'll be contacting Red Roof so a room should be opening up. I plan to call them this am. I really looked forward to this. Retirement is very close....one of these days I'll make one of the events.

BFish Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 the room is now available. Link to comment
Kinsley Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Route Correction Hi Folks, It seems Garmin played with me when creating one of our routes and is trying to send us off into an area where there are no roads....I know you would love to blame me, but I can't take credit for this one. Thanks to Keith (cyclingkk) for finding it. The route is 1 RRI-Lakes End 105. When you turn right onto 107 from 281 and head north you should be going 5.5 miles before turning onto Speedwell Rd. You can ignore Garmin telling you to turn earlier and let it recalculate, add a shaping point within the file you already have, or download the FART 2015 Correction file from the folder below. That file only has the corrected route, so you can replace the one you've already downloaded....you have downloaded the routes...haven't you? If not, the original complete route file is in the folder as well. Click here for the folder with route files Link to comment
Ken S Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Do you know of any iPhone app that will import routes from these files? I normally use Google Maps or MapQuest to plan routes, but haven't used shared routes before. And neither of these apps will create a map with turn-by-turn directions from these files -- although Google Maps will import a representation of the routes. Link to comment
walton66 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Ken, I use pocket earth on my iPad and then sent the route to my iPhone for turn by turn instructions. If I plot a course on basecamp, pocket earth imports it as a track and I have to the draw a route over the track but it doesn't take long and the vicarious ride helps me get charged up for the real thing, but then I'm a map nut since childhood. You can export a gpx file to basecamp from pocket earth if you want to play around with it. Link to comment

And neither of these apps will create a map with turn-by-turn directions from these files -- although Google Maps will import a representation of the routes. Navigon will do it, but I haven't messed with it much. MotionX-GPS will import .gpx files. I've used it quite a bit for hunting and boating. There was a "Drive" version that had turn-by-turn abilities. Link to comment
_Brock_ Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 For those of you keeping score, I won't be in any earlier than Thursday, and I have a +1 (non-member riding buddy) who will probably come for one day TBD. Link to comment
Ken S Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Thanks for the tips on importing the route files. I'm still trying. I may end up entering the routes by hand, but I've looked at the files and it's hard to tell from the text exactly what the directions are. Is there a way to get a text listing of the turns and distances? BTW, Motion-X says that Drive isn't available anymore. They've gotten out of the turn-by-turn direction business. Link to comment
_Brock_ Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 This event is in my back yard, so I'm familiar with just about every mile of the posted routes and they all look great. I'd like to share one of my absolute favorite secret little stretches, shown below. Google Street View doesn't know it, but I've been on it several times and it's all great super-curvy pavement. At least it was about a year ago, last time I was there. It connects Hot Springs to I-26 at Mars Hill, heading East from Hot Springs to Burnsville (or the opposite way). It's a must-ride, IMO. Anyone wanting to do it can follow me. I'll be there at some point. Link to comment
