Email or otherwise make the .gpx file available to attendees, and each attendee who likes can import the .gpx file into their nav app.
Thank you for "butting in" (which you didn't really do). Thank you for this information. I did know that I can export the .gpx file , but I was concerned about the possibility that not everyone would know what to do with the fil once they got it. I should have included this as one of the options.
Once I have the routes plotted (I have two done already), I will post the .gpx files. I will also post the link to route in Scenic. It's a bit of a pain, but let me know if you need me to post a link to the google maps file in addition. Let me know if that works.
Second question is about ride distance. I have a route I could do, and it would be pretty interesting, but it's loop of about 300 miles. Seems like a lot, but there are some payoffs or I wouldn't by contemplating it. The question for attendees is this: What is a good distance for a rally group ride?
If it makes a difference, almost all if not all routes will have a lunch stop and many will have a POI stop as well. All distances are total "loop" distances from Round Barn and returning to Round Barn
a) 50-150 miles
b) 150-200 miles
c) 200-250 miles
d) 250-300 miles
e) 300 + miles
f) a morning ride that returns to the hotel before lunch, leaving riders to plot their own afternoon rides.
I'm happy to mix up a combination of all of these, but I don't want to plan a long day (d or e) if no one wants to go that distance.
