VCC April 18 Update

Link My Ride Instructions

Folks have been asking about using the Link My Ride app to get the route to their bike computers. I’ve had success using my Garmin 1030 and Garmin Connect on my iPhone.

In Link My Ride select your chosen ride and confirm you’re going to “Attend ride”. Tap “Download route (GPX).” > scroll across the apps and select “•••” > scroll down the apps and find “Connect” > Garmin Connect pops open asking “Select a course type” so select Road Cycling > tap “Save” as Public or Private (your choice). Now the route will appear in Garmin Connect in your list of “My Courses.” Tap the ride and then the Send to Device icon – it’ll be sent to your Garmin next time you sync the Garmin and your Garmin Connect account, either through Bluetooth or over WiFi if you have that available.

Check out this Saturday’s ride either on Link My Ride or on our website calendar. Remember, you can attend once as a non-member guest if you sign a waiver (either through the Link My Ride app or linked on our calendar). Then, you’ll need a club membership to keep participating. Even once you’ve taken out a membership, you’ve got 30 days to decide if you want to stick with the club.
