How to Use Ride With GPS for Ride Leaders

2023-03-14 11:05 PM | Randolph Williams (Administrator)

All rides posted to the club calendar must have an associated RideWithGPS route. While many people have a personal RwGPS account, CRW also has a club account that you can use for free. Any ride posted to the website calendar must be copied into the club account in order for it to be accessible by riders.

How do you do this? If you created your route in the club account, then it’ll be accessible to all riders.

If you created it in your own account, follow a few simple steps to copy it to the club account:

1. Open the route in your account and click Edit.

2. At the bottom of the Edit panel, select Save.

3. On the Save panel, check the following fields:

a. Title – edit the title, if needed

b. Description – this is optional but helpful

c. Visibility – set to Public

d. Account – use the pulldown menu and select Charles River Wheelers

You must be a member of the club account for this to work. Not on the club account?

    Is there a way to edit a route that I've put into the club account?

    For now, I'll create a new version. But then I also want to delete the old version - is there a way to do that?

      I need to delete routes that I put in. We could do it easily in the old system. How do we do it here?

    A quick note regarding editing / saving to the club account.
    In addition to adding yourself to the CRW account you also need to be granted permission as a route editor.

    To get Access:
    Please send the request to rwgps@crw.org and VP of rides. I will grant access
