Selling my ticket for Montauk ride this weekend

Submitted by nycbianchi on Tue, 06/12/2012 - 12:03pm

It's a great ride (http://www.ridetomontauk.com) but I can't go this year.  The tickets cost $112 but I'll sell you mine for $85, which is what I paid for early registration.

Garmin courses w/ turn-by-turn directions

Submitted by edeuser on Tue, 06/12/2012 - 11:20am

When I did the SIG I was surprised to find that the Garmin files the leaders sent us for each ride provided turn-by-turn directions when loaded onto my Edge 500.  Can anyone explain how I can map a ride on the computer and export it to my Edge 500 with turn-by-turn directions?

I have tried this using GarminConnect, but when I export to the device the course loads fine, but there are no turn-by-turn directions.  

I have also tried it using bikeroutetoaster.com.  In this case when I export to the device the course also loads fine.  But when I try to cycle through to the page display that would contain the turn-by-turn directions, the device spontaneously shuts off.  So what's the secret?  Thanks!
