This is a gps ride, you will need a Garmin gps with a microSD card slot.
I can recommend one if you like, send me an email
With your ride sign up you will receive a microSD card with custom maps for the ride and gpx files by email.
Friday night you will receive gps training during the riders meeting
You will also receive paper map handouts.
How does the ride Navigation work?
This is a self-lead GPS ride; all riding is on you own. You are responsible for your own riding. You will be given a GPS map file and instruction on how to use your Garmin GPS unit. People will hook up in small groups of less than 6 riders and tend to ride together. You are not encouraged to ride alone. You are responsible for own riding and yourself. (see my ride Navigation Video)

Cost for the ride is $95
This covers all the planning and the gps customs maps, microSD cards and handouts.

Note from me, gpsKevin
My goal for this ride is simple, great riding, so you can count on great routes and places to ride.
But in addition: The ride is about discovering new places, meeting new friends, seeing new parts of Death Valley.
Thanks
