Route Creation and Modification Guidelines for ACTA Members

To maintain the integrity and consistency of routes in our ACTA library, only designated members have editing permissions. This is to prevent accidental alterations that could impact upcoming rides, as changes made after a leader has shared a route can lead to confusion. Unfortunately, Ride with GPS does not provide an audit trail, so it’s difficult to trace unintended changes.

If you have a route saved in your personal Ride with GPS account or have recorded a ride that you believe would be valuable for the ACTA library, please email it to one of our route managers: Stephen (sctajc@gmail.com), Ron (rojac@outlook.co.nz), or [Other Authorized Members]. They will review and add it to the library if suitable.

Thank you for helping us keep our rides well-organized and enjoyable for all!

 

Keeping the ACTA Route Library Updated

Members are encouraged to create rides in the ACTA club account and utilize all the benefits. However, remember that rides saved in the club account are viewable by all members. Personal rides should be saved to your individual account.
