Creating and using routes

Creating routes

Strava is preferred for creating routes as its the most popular app for tracking rides, and most people in the club use it. As almost everyone has a Strava account it makes route syncing very easy.

Other routing websites or apps can be used, but it's recommended to provide a Strava option as well. The website has a field for the Strava route and also for an alternative. Many club members have Strava subscriptions and can convert other routes by uploading a GPX file to the Strava routing page


There used to be a workaround to create Strava routes withut a subscription, by uploading a GPX as a ride and then converting it but that no longer works.
