Please Note:
Having access to route navigation is a requirement for these Saturday morning Granite Bay rides. Our routes are spread out and cover hilly terrain. Riders ride at their own pace. If one is riding alone and without navigation of some sort, it's easy to miss a turn or get lost. By access to navigation, I'm referring to Ride with GPS (free app available online) or a printed cue sheet and map. If you don't have a GPS device, e.g., a Garmin or Wahoo, both Apple and Android phones have the capability of accepting RWGS routes. Again, you do have to have the free app installed on your phone to enable this feature. FYI, if you would like a printed cue sheet, open the route, go to "more" and scroll down to print cue sheet. Note: Printed cue sheets and maps are not provided by the ride leader. It's up to each rider to come prepared to ride, including having proper navigation for the route. Thank you for understanding.
