ROUTES AND RIDING
As a service to its paid-up members, Chilkoot Velo has created and makes available multiple Route Maps for suggested rides. They are stored in our Ride with GPS "collections" as follows: 10-30 miles, 30-50 miles, 50-100 miles and Special, and can be downloaded for printing, smart phone or GPS unit navigation.
DISTANCE
Our routes are various lengths.
- Short Rides (10-25 miles)
- Medium Rides (25-50 miles)
- Long Rides (50-75 miles)
- Century Rides (100+ miles)
SPEED
Our riders/rides average from 10 mph to 20 mph, with 15-18 mph typically the norm. Slower and faster riders often head out in the same direction, typically for a tail-wind return, on the same day for possible fall-back strategy for anyone with mechanical issues.
AVAILABILITY
Ride routes and maps are available to CVCC members and can be accessed and downloaded to personal map devices in the MEMBERS area of the website.
SAMPLE ROUTE MAP
Below is an example of one of our Tuesday Night ride routes. This route is approximately 33 miles. By using Ride With GPS, we are able to create routes that you can send to your personal iPhone, Android, Garmin Edge, or another device. They also provide options to print a PDF of the route.
