I know now! We put it as two separate routes in the GPS. You can only have so many way points and the cut came at the check in at the 7-11 on Orchard at Monte Vista. Does look like it was drawn by a kindergartner though doesn't it? :)

Wow - that's very cool, V! I am impressed!
The elevation profile works now.Quote:

If I'm looking for entertainment I suppose I could download V's dbc file, re-load (as a copy), edit it (since it has fewer waypoints) and then you could be load to your Garmin.
Yeah, problem is I don't want to try to look at the Garmin for directions because it's going to be hard to see when I need it (in the dark). There's a light, but I don't want to burn the extra battery if I don't have to.
Just going over and over the parts of the route that I am not familiar with in these different routing thingies is going to be very helpful. For the 600, I plotted the parts I didn't know in Topo and then "rode" the whole route in Google Earth. It just really helps to be familiar with the route. I also hope to be riding with Jim during the tricky night parts and he's done the ride before.

Geeze, no Cobb Mtn, whatta buncha wusses .... :D :D
So - what are you waiting for?? Sign up!!! ;)Quote:

You could ride the end with us. I'm hooking up with MP at checkpoint 4. So only120 miles.
I'm bringing our GPS. It's the Calistoga section and Vacaville that I'm worried about getting lost in. The rest is pretty straightforward.

Jim's saying maybe 17 hours total. I am not so sure, but our paces were really compatible in the 300, and he's done this before. Anyway, I expect 7 - 8 hours to the turn around at this point. So, what does that make it, 1 - 2 pm?
Here's my full East Bay loop, the day I rode it with V.
The first hill is Palomares, the next one is Redwood Road, followed by Pinehurst, then Canyon. Spazz, I met up with you and Trek on Sunday at the top of Canyon around the mile 40 point. On Sunday I stopped at mile 72, just before the kickup to Calveras Road.

And here's Mt. Diablo, north side, starting from Arbolado Park in Walnut Creek.

And here's a ride a bunch of us did from my home, over Calaveras, up Felter Road to the top of Sierra Rd., then back down Felter.

Thanks jobob!
Has anybody climbed Pinehurst? Or does the above profile mean YOU did jobob (you are a goddess)?
Going down it was a blast, and I kept repeating to myself "I don't wanna go up this - I don't wanna go up this!" as I squeezed the life out of my brakes.
spazz
that is SO cool. I need to learn how to make those profiles come out like that, like a picture almost.
diablo looks like a perfect egyptian pyramid.
Isn't the Calistoga section just like the Santa Rosa 200K? The loop in Geyserville is different but it will be daylight.Quote:

--This is the key: once you swoop around at the beginning of Foothill, you will essentially begin a series of turns that always take you east or north. The one exception is the I-80 overpass at Sparling and Pedrick which you know from the Fall 200k.
--Once you're over 1-80, it's the same return route. Stay on Tremont until you run into the T and turn north. Last leg take you right to the finish.
I think there's a control in calistoga. maybe we should scootch this discussion back over to the long distance thread...
Those are all downloaded from my cycle computer, a Ciclosport CM436(??)M (I'm at work right now so I don't remember the exact number, not that it matters 'cuz I think it's been discontinued), so yes indeedy I did all those rides. :cool:Quote:

MP, you have a HAC4, right? I can explain to you offline how I copied these profies as jpegs; since they're both made by Ciclosport I imagine the software might be similar.
Well, now I am using a Garmin. It does upload routes to MB if I want. And those create profiles. So I may take you up on that.Quote:

Is there some fancier way to do it?
Okay well I did it like this: saved it as a picture (.bmp) and then uploaded to Photobucket.

This should be the Atlas Peak - Veeder - Trinity ride.
ETA: Yippee! It worked! (Remember when I couldn't even insert a regular photo?)
This is fun!
Here's one of my favorite rides, goes over Marshall the easy way and twice over Big Rock:

And here's the 300k:
http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j2...tpois/300k.jpg
Everything is super compressed on that one, but the high point in the middle is Pt. Reyes.
yay! yay double (or triple :D ) yay!
keep 'em coming grrls!
spazz
Good job MP :cool: or should I say, Ginger?
OMG, she can learn new tricks.
woof.
I will put this morning's climb up Tam to Pantoll on at some point.
Goobers and Grapes Loop when I finally got to meet Deanna -- first climb is Sage Canyon around Hennessy and the 2nd climb is up Ink Grade with that wonderful flyer down Howell Mtn.

We need to do Mines Road again sometime. Like, before it turns into a blast furnace again.
Mt. George and Atlas Peak and back over Mt George

Ack! Why won't the first picture load properly? I added a separate post for George and deleted the link from the first. No Goobers and Grapes is only a link. Grrr. Edited: OK, so now I have the link and a photo. Is it cocktail time yet?
Yes to Mines Rd. geek_12 has been asking when we were doing to do it again.
SK, you've done such a good job, have a cocktail... now... please :eek:
Oh geeze, can I have one too ?
Sure, I'll make you a mojito. How does 5 sound?
I haven't ridden Iron Mtn/Emigrant Trail with a functioning computer yet. I'll have to make a point of it so I can get a real life profile of this fabulous climb.

I'm comin' to your house...
MORE please. Keep them thar profiles a comin'
spazz
Jo, can you pick up Spazz-o-matic on the way?
I think I'm off jo's beaten path...
I'm in Knife and Gun Club... er, I mean, Oakland.
spazz
You're still somewhat between her and me. Remember, I'm in the Republic 'o Davis. Just be sure you have proof of Birkenstock ownership or you could be turned away at town limits.
I actually have a pair of Birkenstocks! I wear them apres run or bike... with the cycling or runnig sox. Very attractive :eek:
