STATUS:      GPS Files and Master Cue Sheet are done. 

This ride has 5 main routes plus a detour to restrooms at RS-4. Below are the Garmin GPS file for that event. For information on these files, see my webpage

         This version seems to work better with the latest GPSBABEL software.

Master Cue Sheet:     This spreadsheet shows the 4 main routes (not the 20) with all of the corresponding cues listed horizontally. (All cues on the same line represent the same location.) It will take 6 pages to print, if done right.  Tape them together after you print them.

This event will have 5 routes – 100, 75, 50,35 and 20 miles. 
The GPS file contains 11 routes.

  • For each route, a forward GPS route and a reverse GPS route.
  • At RS4, a short route to the rest rooms about 3 blocks away.  There is no reverse of this one.

NO mile marker waypoints this time!
There are no individual cue waypoints in these files – with 5 routes, it was just too cluttered on the GPS screens and it was just too much work this time.

WARNING:  most GPS units will only import 10 routes after the file is loaded.  You may have to pick and choose which you want, or you may have to delete routes to import others.

If you need to manipulate these files, you should look into a program called GPSBABEL 

If you have any questions, let me know.
