Ride data:

Distance: Day 1 distance is 95 miles, Day 2 Distance is 55 miles (Short So riders can ride home)

Set Your GPS up yourself before the ride:

Downloads: Zipped Folder includes: Printable ride map, gpx file with Tracklogs and Waypoints, and Custom Garmin Ride Map.

Download Note: In the Download window, from the file menu, select FIle:Download. That will get you everything.

To install your Custom Garmin Ride Map, get a blank SD card, and copy the folder "garmin" to the card. Then just put the card into your gps and the map should be there when you turn your gps on.

FAQ: What garmin folder? The folder named garmin should have the "gmapsupp.img" file inside. If you just downloaded the "gmapsupp.img" file, then you need to create a folder on your SD card named garmin and put the "gmapsupp.img" flie in it.

OK since many of you might like to study more detail about the ride, below are the ride maps.

I put these ride maps on the web page because I know a few of you love looking at the ride detail and dreaming about the ride. At first glance these maps do not look so impressive, but they are way cool. If you click the Earth or Satellite tab and start zooming in, you can see the ride in incredible detail. I have spent a ton of hours sorting through the details of the ride for each day, so for those of you that enjoy this sort of thing, well enjoy!
