Re: Saturday 6/20 Club Ride: Lascassas-Watertown Loop (53 miles)
Bill - Looking forward to Saturday's ride. Noticed your GPS info. I've got a GPS and am just beginning to learn it's many mysterious ways. Still working on that ride download thing. Think I need more software. Will be picking your brain for GPS info when I see you Sat. Be prepared for a lot of basic q's. GPSing could take all the fun out of adventure ridin' !
Re: Saturday 6/20 Club Ride: Lascassas-Watertown Loop (53 miles)
Sure... I'd be glad to show you what I know. I am still learning about all the features myself and I am no pro. I've learned a lot about GPSing from Mark B and Jim N (when I can keep up with them on rides)!
I agree... sometimes getting lost on a bike is half the fun!
P.S. - Email or call if you'd like me to try to help you get this course loaded up prior to the ride.
Hi Joe. The shortest and most direct loop to Watertown is 40.9 miles if you don't mind riding Cainsville Pike up and Statesville Pike back down. They will have more traffic, and I tried to use back roads as much as possible on the main route (and avoid roads that are in bad shape).
Here is a link to the 40.9 mile loop:

I'll bring a cue sheet for this route Saturday.
If others who are more familiar with these roads have a better 40 mile route suggestion, let me know.
