We have generated a GPX file, and a Garmin map that contain the entire route for you to upload to your GPS unit. Having the course in your GPS will allow you to follow a "breadcrumb" trail as you follow the course. No need to look at the cue sheet as you pedal the double century. It's a lot easier, and faster too!
The GPX file is pretty simple to upload to your GPS unit. If you are accustomed to downloading tracks from your GPS, then its simply a matter of reversing the process to upload this file.To put the Garmin background map in your GPS, you will need special software to facilitate the transfer. You can get this software here. Once you have this software, you will be able to transfer other .img 'home-made' maps to your GPS.
Details
Departure Date:
The Bishop's Double Century starts here on July 11, 2009 at 6:00 AM Wheels Rolling. Parking $10.00.
Schedule:
The course has been designed so that trained riders can complete riding before dark. The windows for the rest stops are designed so that a single vehicle can support the entire group of riders. If you are falling behind schedule, you will be encouraged to sag to the next rest stop. At your option, you may elect to complete the ride on our own schedule (after dark) but by doing this, you would be foregoing sag and food support.
