Why Organizers Choose Ride with GPS
Being able to provide our riders and support drivers with an accurate map and turn-by-turn directions is very important to me as the Ride Director for RAGBRAI. Partnering with Ride with GPS has allowed us to offer another tool riders can use to get across our state safely. This platform gives us the opportunity to stay connected with our riders, provide them with information so riders can get lost in the beauty of Iowa without getting lost on the road.
Matt Phippen
RAGBRAI Ride Director
Ride With GPS has become integral into our course building and planning for every distance of our event here at The Mid South. The ease of use and efficiency of the website and app are a deeply valuable and integral part of our systems we use every year for the event/race. Ride With GPS has also become an invaluable partner for us at The Mid South to communicate our routes, group rides, and route details for all of our 3500+ participants that come from all 50 states and over 9 countries each year. I couldn't imagine using any other platform to make and distribute our routes for The Mid South. Thank you all for what you do and for continuing to be the best in the game!!
