Ride With GPS (RWGPS) Instructions for WCW Members
Since 2016, WCW has purchased an annual RWGPS club account to create and maintain a schedule of all routes. There’s no charge to join, but WCW members must first register to create a free RWGPS account.
Do the following on your computer:
If you don't have a RWGPS account, go to https://ridewithgps.com/signup
Select the FREE "Starter" plan,
Then go to the WCW RWGPS home page
https://ridewithgps.com/
Click on Apply to Join.
After you're confirmed as a current WCW member, one of the administrators will accept you as a RWGPS member. You can then login to our WCW RWGPS web page (with the above link).
Click on Events on the Toolbar to see a Calendar View or List View of the scheduled rides.
Click the Left or Right Arrow beside the month to view the prior or next month.
When you click on an event (on the left panel), all three rides with distances will be shown for that day. When you click on a route, it will show that one on the map to the right.
You can also click on Show All On Map to view all of the routes at the same time to see where they overlap. Click on the title for one of the routes and then click on Go To Route to see the details for that route. If you scroll down in the left panel, you can view the Cuesheet.
When you are done with the RWGPS web site, do NOT sign out. Just close the browser tab. That way you don't have to sign in the next time you open the web site.
Rides are subject to change based on the most up to date information regarding roads so it is best to check/recheck close to the specific ride dates. If you’re signed into RWGPS and click on a date, it will take you to the RWGPS page showing all routes for that day.
If you have a mobile device, download the Ride with GPS app and login with your email address and password. BEFORE the ride, from home, do the following:
Click on the Waterloo County Wanderers icon.
Click on Events to see the upcoming scheduled rides in chronological order.
Click on one of them to see all of the routes assigned for that day.
Click on the one you want to ride and it will show the details with the distance.
Click on Save followed by Download for Offline.
You can then go to Library, at the bottom of the screen & click on the OFFLINE tab to see it.
When you’re at the start location you can turn Data off with Location services turned ON
When you’re ready, turn up the volume, click on Navigate and get turn by turn instructions during the ride. If you have a Garmin Edge or Wahoo bike computer, you can visual turn by turn instructions during the ride.
