Laughlin Ride

[Tony]

Hello South Coasters
Please join me for Laughlin ride in January 2021, please book your room ASAP as price rocketed in the last few days. I booked my room at Laughlin River Lodge, there are two different rates one with river view and one without. Please bring with you your worn, unwanted old shoes on this trip as we will visit Rice Shoes Fence. Due to COVID-19, lunches and dinners location are TBD, hope to see y’all on this ride. Some of us do not use NAV or GPX’s files so I have both GPX’s files and print out PDF for the ride.

Thank you

HI Tony, nice routes. Did you know now you can add times for stops like gas, lunch, dam pictures in MyRoute ?? You can also change the colors of waypoints to show what they are. I made your gas & picture stops yellow, the starts green and the end points red.

[Ron Zablocki]

I didn’t know that Bill – I’ll have to check out MyRoute again.

[Tony]

I didn’t know that either, thank you Bill and I will take a look at it. Oh, BTW I was using Basecamp for my routes, will it import to Mytoureapp and shows the features or vise versa?

[Bill Reitz]

Tony I don’t use BaseCamp, it’s too tough for me to learn. I was a Tyre then MyRoute guy. As long as your routes are saved on the computer then you just import them to MyRoute. From there you can add stop times and change colors of the waypoints.
If you need help I’m available for only a dozen chocolate chip cookies per half hour !

[Ron Zablocki]

Tony, I’m also available for assistance if you need it – and for half the price of what Bill’s asking!

[Tony]

Thank you Ron, see you on the ride.

[Bill Reitz]

For Tony & Ron, by the way I’m not charging for this info, here is a MyRoute Facebook video explaining the use of via points / route points / shaping points. With these additions you can set times for coffee breaks and such to see how long the overall route will take.

[Ron Zablocki]

Hey Bill – That’s neat stuff, but when you import the route into BaseCamp or your Garmin GPS – it’s all gone. So for me, I might as well do it in BaseCamp.

[Bill Reitz]

I guess I need to try these things out before I say how great they are ??

[Bill Reitz]

Ron as much as I hate to admit, you were right. I imported a route I added timed stops & waypoint colors but just the standard flags showed up on my NAV IV. I believe the webinar says the newer Garmin units show the color & times. Oh well, I tried.

[Ron Zablocki]

My Nav 6 doesn’t show the MyRoute things either when I import it. Maybe they’re talking about the Garmin XT that was released not too long ago.

Hi Tony,
I have booked my room at Laughlin River Lodge, thanks to put the ride plan together. Willis

[Tony]

That is awseome Willis, see you on the ride

[Eric Wolf]

Hey Tony, thanks for setting this up. Since Monday, Jan 18 is a holiday (MLK), have you thought about extending this trip one more day, coming home Monday instead of Sunday?

[Tony]

Hello Eric

I am aware of the holiday, unfortunately there are not much to ride in the area. Most of us are retirees but there are still working and this is the reason of 3 days ride, I am working on few more rides that will require multiple days and please stand by.

I do not know what happens here but I can not sign up for ride list or it does not work, I also understand with holidays are around the corner and web master also busy with his personal life. Please respond here if anyone is interest for this ride and I will see you at the ride.

Don’t forget we still deal with this pandemic, please bring your mask and hand sanitizer with you and practice social distance when we can.

The weather will be cold, don’t forget your warming gear.

See you there.

[Brandon Wilson]

Tony –

Ride list signup works fine. E-mail me the issue you might be having.

Thanks,
B

[Bill Reitz]

Brandon one problem with the Ride List is it shows Laughlin 2020 not 2021. I know, picky picky.

[Brandon Wilson]

sorry, I was thinking we all wanted an extension to 2020.

[Bill Reitz]

Sorry for the double post but I couldn’t find a DELETE button.

[Tony]

Bill, are you stirring up trouble lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 😄

Hi Tony,

Is there a meeting time on Friday? I see the starting point in San Juan Capistrano (corner of Antonio and 74) from the gpx.

Thanks

Hello Erasmo

I don’t know what happened and just caught your message, first meet up is at Bravo’s Burger locate at 74 AKA Ortega Hwy and 5 Frwy, just east of the freeway a light or 2 on right hand side KSU at 8. Dan Burtt should be there around 730 for a cup of coffee and I will try to be there early too.

The plan was I will swing by Starbucks at Antonio Parkway and 74 in case some one wanted to meet there, the second meet up is Dinosaur park in Cabazon by Burger King about an hour or hour and a half after starting from SJC, if any one miss the both meet up place then they can chase to catch up at Chiriaco Summit.
