Byron to Dixon - 07/30/20

FVBSC ride out of Byron borrowing a route from Beth. Warm humid to start but NE winds picked up during the day, which made the air cooler and dryer, but also the northbound return segments challenging. Rode from start point to Mt. Morris, Grand Detour, Dixon, Oregon and back. Great group with Rob, Beth, Jose, Monica L & Kevin, Brian and Frank. Gorgeous, challenging route with personal favorites being E Town Line, N Town Hall, West Grove, North Silver Creek and N/S Ridge Road. Beautiful rolling hills with wide vistas and relatively light traffic. Due to an early report of fresh gravel on the segment from Oregon to Byron, we detoured along IL 2 for a while. Some turned off onto W Town Hall while Frank and I stayed on IL 2. Flatted right after the spilt but was able to return intact. Sustenance and rehydration at Harry Cow Brewing (good pizza, pedestrian brews) where we were able to sit outside. Solid ride on a great day.

  • FIT Course

    Best format for turn-by-turn directions on modern Garmin Edge Devices

  • TCX Course

    Best format for turn by turn directions on Edge 500, 510. Will provide true turn by turn navigation on Edge 800, 810, 1000, Touring including custom cue entries. Great for training when we release those features. Not currently optimal for Virtual Partner.

  • TCX History

    Useful for uploading your activity to another service, keeping records on your own computer etc.

  • GPX Track (.gpx)

    Useful for any GPS unit. Contains no cuesheet entries, only track information (breadcrumb trail). Will provide turn by turn directions (true navigation) on the Edge 705/800/810/1000/Touring, but will not have any custom cues. Works great for Mio Cyclo. Find GPS specific help in our help system.
