Using Ridewithgps - problem getting cue sheet notes to appear

Submitted by DHauss on Wed, 09/05/2012 - 11:16am

Anyone know how to get ridewithgps.com to print notes on the cuesheet (e.g., lunch stops, cautions, etc.)?  I entered lunch and water stops onto my route and they show up on the monitor but when I generate a cuesheet, they don't appear

Time and opportunity for a change in CP

Submitted by GYang on Tue, 09/04/2012 - 4:42pm

The powers that be - CPC I believe - should take the initiative to effect a positive change for Central PARK after the recent and unfortunate bike/runner accident in CP and the ensuing crackdown.

Eliminating cars from the park 24/7/365 would go a long way towards improving safety of both pedestrians and cyclists. It is a PARK after all why are cars allowed to drive through it at any time?

Two of the most significant problems in the park are

1. too many people crammed into a limited space and

2. variability of the rules depending on the time of day (ie whether or not cars are in the park or not) making compliance confusing and sewing the seeds for hostility among different groups of users

Something is better than nothing but at least they realize action is warranted.
