Looking like a lot of fun ride. Will these maps be available there or we need to make our own copies?For those of you seeking information on potential rides of interest in the area, check out the Rally Routes page here: https://concours.org/national/2021-Rally/Routes
Add me, add me! I've ridden many, but not all, of these routes. Guess it's time to get busy and do some more riding...Oh darn!I will have the electronic versions of the maps with waypoints (red pins) on them with me on my laptop to transfer to Garmin or TomTom gps during the GPS/Ride Route assistance session- Monday 9 AM -12 noon. Would be good to download prior though just in case of technical issues.
Have not personally ridden the routes with the waypoints on them. They were built from Google Maps using Tyre To Navigate. Some adhoc navigation by a rider may be needed.
How would one do that?...I don't see a link to those just a map photo.....or do you mean something like bother you on Sunday night instead of Monday 9-12?I will have the electronic versions of the maps with waypoints (red pins) on them with me on my laptop to transfer to Garmin or TomTom gps during the GPS/Ride Route assistance session- Monday 9 AM -12 noon.

Well now you're just getting greedy.Showing attractions and lunch option locations are great to have too.
I've already done that with all the ones that have a gpx file associated with them and they came out good, but the last 9 don't (yet?) have a gpx file associated so I was just wondering how we were supposed to ....."Would be good to download prior though" ....with those since I think his whole post was about those 9.Import the gpx files to basecamp. They will show up as a track not route. Right click on the track and convert to route. I tried the one to Barber motorsports and it looks ok.
I doubt I have done it to your exacting standards, but I created routes from the 9 given gpx files, then copied them all into the same BaseCamp list and exported the list to a gdb file named in your honor. Probably all I'm going to do with them before I leave, I guess you'll have to find your own lunch spots on your device. I have no idea if what I've done here is what you wanted but here it is.If someone does covert the gpx files to something more Basecamp like let us know.
Thank you for your service in doing this! Working on getting the.gpx for the remaining files...I doubt I have done it to your exacting standards, but I created routes from the 9 given gpx files, then copied them all into the same BaseCamp list and exported the list to a gdb file named in your honor.

Note, these are just the first 9 routes with the GPX files associated with them, not the routes shown with the red pins.
The only reason I suggested someone convert to gdb was you can package all the routes up and share it with one link and most will not have to convert to route. My unit will not show tracks, only routes.
The GPX files should appear on the website by Monday, I'm told....I have the gpx files for the red pin routes. I am working on getting them added to the National site. I built these from my desk using Tyre to Navigate so some in-the-saddle navigation may be required.
Although not asked to do so, nor authorized by anybody anywhere to do so, I've entered those routes into BaseCamp and came up with this file for those that prefer it in that format. It was sort of quick and dirty and BaseCamp was convinced that a couple of roads weren't paved. After confirming that they were indeed paved by looking at the Google sat view, I used the dirt bike profile instead of the driving profile so that BaseCamp would use the roads for the respective routes. Perhaps my BaseCamp map needs updating. Someday I'll get around to that.Dudes and dudettes,
All routes have now have GPX file posted! Enjoy!
Lots of roads like that in the area. Something to consider if you decide to take an interesting detour off of the routes.Thank you for doing this! FYI, I've been on roads before where use of the term 'paved' was suspect . For the rest of you, use your best judgment when using these routes provided for your benefit.
Oh, I know, I know... I was on my CB500X that day headed to Orme so not too bad. Anything lower and heavier would be a real handful. Also suspect is anything with "Gap" in the name.One known 'not so paved' road leads from Russell Cave/town of Orme to City of South Pittsburg, TN. FYI.
I've been sucked into so many of these roads where the pavement is good at both ends but gets gravel like in the middle. I used to think if the Google car can do it then it probably isn't gravel...but that has been proven wrong on too many occasions...I've learned to look in both directions with the Google street view and if I see dust in the air (long cloud over road, as opposed to a puff from an intersecting gravel road)..then it's gravel in places..this road has dust in several spots in the middle....but it does make me wish it was located near me to ride on my dual sport.One known 'not so paved' road leads from Russell Cave/town of Orme to City of South Pittsburg, TN.

Yes, ...IF...you go through the small hassle of acquiring a Google API Key and then have your route available in a .gpx format and then go here:Is that stop action available to us heathens somehow?
I really hope to get to The Rally Monday AM. To dpwnload the routes directly, I'm coming down from Connecticut. I'll be in Chattanooga Sunday PM. I did download the GPX files from the Cog site. But I'm a Map Source user for about 12 years and Base Camp seems to be harder to use than some video games. No luck converting those GPX files into routes in Basecamp. Even after talking to Garmin. Frustrating.Add me, add me! I've ridden many, but not all, of these routes. Guess it's time to get busy and do some more riding...Oh darn!
What format does Basecamp use? Maybe I can use Tyre 2 Navigate to change the format. Tyre is free navigation software that I been using for about 10 years. I have no affiliation with this software. It is easy to use and intuitive.I really hope to get to The Rally Monday AM. To dpwnload the routes directly, I'm coming down from Connecticut. I'll be in Chattanooga Sunday PM.
