North Texas April 22 Ride Report
- Thread starter dohertycm
- Start date
I use google earth, county maps (to make sure the roads are not private) and GPSies.com - which is where all of my routes are stored and made. I have large monitors on my computer to spread it out and make it easier...truth be told...I do most of them when I travel, because i have nothing to do at night in my hotel room.
To All who went.. Thanks for a great ride, Thanks for the complements on the ride, Thanks to Gary for sharing his knowledge...and thanks for putting up with my errors on the GPX file..
Still working on next months route... hope to have it published shortly.

My bro-in-law and I are looking at doing this Sat as well. Looking like a ton of rain though, but if it pushes off, we are in.

When I created a route using Basecamp and the gpx it's shows 220 miles total. Lots of one after the other uturns too which is where I think the extra mileage came from. Just need to adjust a few points I think on the backend before uploading the route to the ZUMO.

Weather report so far says rain won't end until around 6AM on Sunday, so probably pretty nasty. We will probably hold off for two weeks (next week riding in Cabo) and will give it time to dry out.
Said it before but I think I've got the u-turns corrected and the missing track through Clifton corrected. Maybe. Hopefully.

Can I get the GPX of that, or did you post it at the beginning post? Or do I sign up for that site and somehow get it?

DeerSplitter, open that link, look on the right hand side of the page, click the "export" tab, scroll down to the orange "gpx track" and it will download. I converted to a route since my old garmin will not support 1000+ points.

Got it. I am soooooo irritated with today. It said it was a 100% chance of rain and still says it. But the storm is way up north so wasted day vs hitting this ride.

Looks like a great ride. Thanks for putting it together and sharing!
I know man. Same here. It was 4 of us scheduled for today. And I wanted to go either way, but everybody else bailed because of the forecast. So I didn't wanna ride by myself.
Anybody wanna go tomorrow?

Well in retrospect, I guess the tornado weather that hit was not far away. In all seriousness though there are lots of stories (some on this site) of riders getting struck by lightning. Water does not bother me, but lightning is serious.
