Branden – using the MyRoute app on your iPad seems like a good idea, but what happens when you’re out of cell range? But being able to modify routes on the web, and have them immediately available on the MyRoute app is nice.

I guess I’m one the the few people who doesn’t have an issue with BaseCamp, and think it works well. It did initially take me a little time to learn BaseCamp, but it’s worthwhile to me. There are a lot of YouTube videos on how to use BaseCamp, and a few of them helped me in the beginning.

Roady – 1 = 0 😂

Is the Big Bear ride after around the lake, or up in Big Bear City?

[Ron Zablocki]

Of course it says 2.5 hours on a Friday! But on a Sunday morning it’ll be 1.5 hours. 😉

[Ron Zablocki]

Karl – 2.5 hours?? Did you check that on Waze for Sunday?

[Ron Zablocki]

Karl – sounds good. Waze calculated a 1.5 hour drive time to get to the Oaks by 10am. But I’ll need some additional time to gas up, so I’m thinking of leaving my place around 8:10am.

[Ron Zablocki]

Hey Karl – Let me know if you’d like some company riding up.

Bill – I know about importing GPX files into MyRoute-App, and I did do that with John’s files. However, when I tried using the Garmin (HERE) map option, I had a heck of a time trying to get it to follow the correct route. So I just ended up importing the GPX files into BaseCamp, and converting them to the Garmin map installed on my PC was no issue. So I basically updated the routes to be compatible with BaseCamp and my Garmin Navigator VI. Now there should be no routing errors, as the maps and routes on my PC are the same on mm GPS.

If anyone’s interested in the Garmin formatted routes for this trip, I’ve attached them here in a single GPX file consisting of a 3 routes for the 3 days. If anyone uses this and finds an issue – please let me know.
And credit is due to John for creating these routes, I just made them more Garmin compatible so there wouldn’t be any routing issues between my PC and my GPS.

Ron & Lorna will be there.

[Ron Zablocki]

The initial meetup location is no longer Irv Seavers, but at Flo’s Café now?

[Ron Zablocki]

Will the meetup location be at the restaurant, or somewhere else to ride up to the restaurant?

[Ron Zablocki]

John – By chance did you create the GPX files from the MyRoute-App on the web?

[Ron Zablocki]

Thanks John! 🙂

[Ron Zablocki]

Any route plans for this ride yet?

[Ron Zablocki]

Thanks Bill – Even though they’re different cities, I believe they’re the same location.

Anyway – I’m in! 🙂

[Ron Zablocki]

Is this the correct Route 66 Hotel address:
21455 W I 40 Business Loop
Paulden, AZ 86337

[Ron Zablocki]

Karl – I think Bill would be fine with printed turn-by-turn directions. He should be able to get the major waypoints from that. I don’t knife of a way to print out just the waypoints, but I’ll look into it more.

[Ron Zablocki]

Looks very nice, excellent work Karl! 🙂

Please do post once the routes are confirmed.

[Ron Zablocki]

I’m also in Karl.

[Ron Zablocki]

We appreciate all that you do for us David! 😉

[Ron Zablocki]

Awesome – thanks Chris! I’m sure the next one will be much easier. 🙂
