Route Planning with Ride with GPS

A handy tool for planning cycle touring routes is Ride with GPS.

ACTA is a club member of the Ride with GPS route planner. Using the ride with GPS route planner app club riders are building up a library of routes. This is the link to the ACTA planned routes to date.

Here is an example of a Ride with GPS route using Ride with GPS:
