Sadly, I’m out as well and won’t make Kings Canyon. Doing the “Ride-To-Live” course on the Mt Laguna weekend. So, next trip for me is Kernville
Thanks John C for today’s meeting and ride! Was great to see everyone again. Saw 110.3 degrees on my bike in Riverside on the way home! I think that’s a new personal record! Not sure which I liked better at the A&W stop – the root beer float or re-charging the cooling vest!
Hey Erasmo – I’m planning to be at the Chevron at 9am. I have no idea how many people will be there. If it’s a big group, we could split into smaller groups for the ride up
Hey David, that’s my plan too.
FYI… The Oaks is only outdoor dining and takeout now. They closed indoor dining a few days ago after the governor’s latest order.
Hi Ron – Of course you’re right that there’s nothing difficult about exporting a GPX file from BaseCamp and emailing it to someone.
I use BaseCamp to create routes and manage my library of routes. But I was introduced to MyRoute-app and MotoWhere when I was interested in access to someone else’s rides – or someone else wanted to share a ride with me. So, I now have accounts for both. You can create routes in MyRoute-app and MotoWhere, but I’ve only used them for sharing. Based on my limited experience, here’s why I said that they are better than BaseCamp for sharing.
First, both let you share a route by sending a link. The recipient can then view the route online, make it a favorite (MotoWhere), download and import into BaseCamp, etc.
MyRoute-app also lets you become a “friend” with another user. When you do that, you can view the other person’s entire library of routes. That was very helpful for me when I moved here and wanted to find good roads and rides.
MotoWhere also has a very cool search function. For example, you can search for “California” and you’ll get a map with all the California rides from all MotoWhere users.
Bill Reitz is a MyRoute-app user, so he could surely add more details about it. And Erasmo introduced me to MotoWhere, so he may have more to add.
Both MyRoute-app and MotoWhere are web applications. So it’s easier for them to provide social and sharing features. On the other hand, they also need an internet connection so it may not be possible to use them when you’re on the road. One thing I like about BaseCamp is that it’s an installed PC/Mac application, so I can use it anywhere regardless of whether I have internet.
Hope this is helpful. Just one guy’s experience and opinion!

Hey Jessie – I haven’t spent a lot of time in MotoWhere or myRoute. So I’m prob not the best person to compare. I know Erasmo uses MotoWhere because he used it to share a route with me recently. That was the first time I’ve used it. Seems like MotoWhere is a pretty easy way to share routes. I haven’t tried creating a route in MotoWhere. I invested time to learn BaseCamp a couple years ago and now that’s all I use to create routes. But BaseCamp isn’t great for sharing – things like MotoWhere and myRoute are definitely better for sharing routes with other people.
Maybe I’m overly concerned about COVID-19, but not sure I’m ready for indoor dining. Might come after the breakfast and just meet up for the ride around Big Bear.
Original Apple with cinnamon ice cream – 8 months ago!
See you at Lake Elsinore

Got the early bird rally registration today! Available for 2 more days (thru Feb 15), then the price goes up.
Also got one of the Sherpa tent sites at the rally – looking forward to seeing what that’s like!
And, I have 2 easy-ups that we could use.
OK, finally made a couple decisions. Riding up Sat with Chris Roady. Staying at the Longstreet Inn. Riding back Monday
Slight change in plans. My buddy from New England won’t be able to make it. I’m still planning to be there. Just need to decide on whether I’m going on Fri or Sat.
For those hoteling, I found another Yellowstone option. I got a room at Grant Village for $277. Still expensive and not nearly as nice as the Yellowstone Lake Hotel, but also not $400! Looks to me like Grant Village is along the route, about 23 miles and 35 minutes before you’d reach the Yellowstone Lake Hotel
