Ride with GPS

If you want to explore the bicycling-enhancing features of Ride with GPS (RwGPS) click on the RwGPS logo below

If you landed on this page because you want to gain access to the RwGPS KBC Club Account, click this link.

Members of KBC have access to features of a “Premium” RwGPS plan, an $80/year value, for FREE as part of their club membership through the KBC Club Account on RwGPS. The KBC Club Account has a large library of routes and provides a means for all KBC members to have “Premium” features of RwGPS only on routes in the club’s Route Library including turn-by-turn navigation, off-line route access, and advanced maps & cue sheets when you sign into KBC’s Ride with GPS Club Account.

To learn more about features of RwGPS Club Accounts, click this link https://ridewithgps.com/help/club-member-benefits

You may also want to check out this link – Compare Plans in RwGPS – to see advantages of having access to the “Premium” features of RwGPS when logged into a Club Account. These “Premium” RwGPS features can be used by KBC members on routes in the KBC Route Library, a compilation of over 200 routes that includes regular KBC weekly ride routes, KBC annual event routes (such as the Ride to South Haven, Ride Around Kalamazoo, Anniversary Ride, etc.), KalTour routes, and member-submitted routes.

Submitting Routes to KBC Club Account

We want to grow the list of routes in RwGPS for the enjoyment of all members. So, please submit your favorite routes to a KBC Route Manager!  To submit a route for sharing through the KBC Club Account either export the route from another program (such as Strava or Map My Ride) OR create the route in your individual RwGPS account, make sure the privacy setting is set to “public,” and then copy the URL/link for that route into an email message and send it to routesandrides@ kalamazoobicycleclub.org.

When submitting a new route to be included in the KBC Route Library please provide a bit of a description of the route. Information to include might be: type of road surface (we will assume all routes are paved roads unless otherwise stated); hazards/cautions of the route; if it’s particularly hilly or scenic or other attributes of the ride; and, unless it’s obvious, you can include where the start/finish is for parking purposes.
