Official BCI Rides BCI Route Sheets now available as Garmin Coursesview 2012-04-25 at http://connect.garmin.com. Links to these courses are now available on the club's Facebook page.
Many of the BCI routes can now be downloaded to most Garmin GPS units. While it is still prudent to have a route sheet on hand, the downloadable Garmin courses help keep riders on course.
Links to the rides can be found on the club's Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bicycle-Club-of-Irvine/119270471442357
Click on the link at you will be taken to the course for that particular route sheet. Note: based on member feedback, only the medium, Long and Long Plus rides have been converted into Garmin Courses.
Courses that have been confirmed have the word "Verified" appended to the course name.
Garmin users can help verify these courses. Please contact me at randy@trailsendcc.com or ridecoord@bikeirvine.org if you can help with this project.
Thanks!
