Ride with GPS

RidewithGPS Club Site
 

If you have never gotten lost while on a club ride or an extended tour, you likely need to read no further. For the rest of us, you may be interested to know that CCCTS subscribed to a RidewithGPS club account last year which offers some great features to assist you in staying on course.  Many of the chapters are currently making use of the site to catalog their rides and provide gps tracks for members. With the general availability of smartphones, users can also opt to use the free RidewithGPS smartphone application rather than the more costly dedicated GPS units.

 
What does the club site offer CCCTS members?

Once subscribed to CCCTS club account members will have free access to many features that are only available to RidewithGPS paid accounts. By setting up a free RidewithGPS account and signing into the club site, you will be able to download enhanced gps files to your gps unit or use the RidewithGPS application on your smartphone to get turn by turn instructions.  If you prefer a printed map, you can also choose to print map and/or cue sheets for your ride as well.
