Mount Tam Road Ride

[Veronica]

I've futzed around a little bit with Routeslip. Is there a button to push to make it track to the road? I also didn't see a place to upload a GPX file.

No button to make it track to the road - that's against googling licensing.

Somewhere in his blog I thought he gave directions for GPS uploads. Maybe it is only downloads, but that seems stupid.

If all else fails, give me a route description and I'll sit and do all the little clickies.

I'm almost done. I decided it would probably work better in IE than Mozilla.


Well, now it seems the site is too busy for me to work on it.

I am thoroughly frustrated by Routeslip. I looked through the blogs. There is mention of uploading GPS files, but no specific directions.

It's basically this route that Velogirl posted. Her ride is longer, but if you look at the link back in her post, you can see the distance between the turns.

Start at Mill Valley Middle School on Camino Alto

Camino Alto (begin 1.5 mile climb) – becomes Corte Madera then Magnolia
Continue Magnolia through intersection of Redwood Avenue
Left College Avenue at Bon Air
Left Kent (before College of Marin -- turns into Poplar in town of Ross)
Left Townhall/Lagunitas Road
Right Shady Lane
Right Bolinas Ave
1st Left San Anselmo Avenue (through downtown San Anselmo)
Left Continuing on San Anslemo (just before Sir Francis Drake)
Left Center Blvd (turns into Broadway)
STOP & REGROUP THE COFFEE ROASTERY IN FAIRFAX (on the left at Bolinas Ave)
Right Bolinas Road (becomes Fairfax-Bolinas Road) – climb, climb, climb!
STOP & REGROUP Alpine Dam Bridge (stop, catch your breath, and take in the beautiful view)
Left Ridgecrest Boulevard, continue to the end and turn around
Left Pan Toll Road
Left Panoramic Highway (follow to four corners)
Left Sequoia Valley Road
Right Edgewood Avenue
Right Molino Avenue
Left Montford
Right Miller Avenue
Left on Camino Alto

can I send you one of GP's garmin files for the route?

[Veronica]

I have the route in my GPS. I wanted to put it on to Routeslip so SK and Kim could look at it.

So any chance we can hook up with you after the ride for a late lunch?

Oh, I'm fine with one of those old-fashioned paper thingies - a cue sheet I think it's called. Up the mountain, down the mountain, around the mountain - something like that, right? Barring rain, I'll be there for the short route.

That would be great. SK and I were planning to get together later after your ride to go over training schedules. We'd planned to do that last weekend and things got nutty. (She's trying to keep me grounded while I plan what I am doing next next year and I'm trying to help her work out her 200k training like I did last year.) But we could have lunch before and do that later in the day if it works for her.

What sort of food do you guys think you'll want?
