BCI has used RidewithGPS.com for route plotting fo years. Almost every route we offer is available on the RideWithGPS.com web site.
Some of your dues go to pay for our subscription with RideWithGPS.com.
We provide links so you can see the route on various maps and also the elevation profile.

RideWithGPS.com will open in your browser on a computer or smart phone.
They also have a mobile app version that will open on iOS and Android phones.

You personally can sign up as a free user for limited access with their Starter plan, or unlock the full features with a paid Premium plan subscription.

Many members use RWGPS to get cues from their smart phone or through their gps unit. If you have a paid Premium RideWithGPS account, and a Garmin or Wahoo GPS that can upload a .tcx file, your device can read you the turn by turn directions from our RideWithGPS route. Some riders use the RideWithGPS app (IOS & Android) on their smartphone while riding (paid Premium plan is required to get turn by turn cues) You can adjust your own device settings to give turns sooner and more often along a ride.

RideWithGPS does generate a rough full page cue sheet for each route,
but the BCI Route Slip is more accurate, may have detailed notes and is designed to fit as a narrow 1/2 page slip to fold & clip to your handlebar… that happens by plotting the route on RWGPS, then crafting an Excel spreadsheet in our basic format and then saving it as a .pdf file to post here on the web site.

They have a robust Help section on line to teach you how to Plan Routes, go Mobile, and work with Garmin and other GPS units.
You can export the route as a GPX file to your gps device and get cues while you ride. Some of the details in our route slips will be better than the turn by turn cues in the RWGPS version, so it’s still good to bring a hard copy of BCI’s cue sheet along.
Your GPS can save your completed rides to RWGPS, and RWGPS can send them to STRAVA, so then your rides will post to our Ridership Challenge.

You can even export the GPX file from your phone to your bluetooth enabled gps.
