Ride with GPS training - Route Construction

Open to financial MBTC members and anyone that intends to join our club before the night. The library closes at 6pm so we will have someone at the door between 6:45pm and 7pm to let you in. The workshop will start at 7pm. One of the many benefits of being a financial MBTC member is access to our Ride with GPS Club subscription. This gives us extra route planning options, visual or audible turn by turn navigation, but most importantly is gives us our routes and maps when we are offline and in the middle of nowhere. If you are not currently connected to the Ride with GPS club account, just post a message and I will talk you through it prior to the night. On the night we will get our hands dirty. Here are some of the things that we will do in the club account: * Using the club account * How to create and save a route * Using various map formats * Adding POI's * Adding/removing/changing route tags in the route library * Editing a route and the use of control points * Lock and unlock a route * How to copy and edit a locked route * To download or not to download the route & map for offline navigation? * Locating and downloading the route in the phone app * construct a route using a ride we have already recorded The training and learning space has a desktop for each participant. Here are some of the advantages of using the RWGPS Club account with offline maps & navigation: * We've paid for it as part of our membership so lets use it! * The club route library is at your fingertips * Download offline maps on home wifi to save using mobile data when navigating in mobile reception areas * We'll always know where we are on the ride as the map & route won't mysteriously vanish when we're out of mobile reception * Look at the elevation of the terrain ahead * Be able to check the remaining distance, and point to point distances * If anyone decides to bail out part way into the ride we can be sure of getting back to the car or station * If the ride leader is unwell or injured and has to abandon the ride then the ride can continue with another leader * No more excuses for splitting the group when riders pass the ride leader and take wrong turns * More members will be inclined to lead rides in the country with confidence * Stop thinking and just enjoy the ride!

🌊 Elwood Coastal Walk & Optional Dinner

📣 Updated start time: 4:00 pm I’ve had to move the walk to the afternoon because of the marathon taking place that morning. You’re also welcome to join us for an optional dinner in Elwood after the walk! Join us for an inclusive walk along the foreshore from Elwood towards St Kilda and back. It’s a chance to get moving, enjoy the coast and spend time together. 📍 Meeting point: In front of Elwood Sailing Club 🕓 Start time: 4:00 pm sharp — please arrive early so we can leave on time. 📏 Distance: Approximately 8 km return, following the same foreshore route both ways. 🚶 Pace: Around 4.5 km/h, though you’re welcome to walk at a pace that suits you. People may walk at different speeds, so the group may spread out. The group won’t wait for everyone to catch up. The route is straightforward, and we can meet at the turnaround point before walking back. Please bring water, comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen and an extra layer for the evening. Dogs are welcome 🐕 — please keep them under control and follow local signs. 🍽️ Optional dinner afterwards: If you’d like to stay, join us for dinner in Elwood after the walk. Everyone pays for their own food and drinks. You’re equally welcome to come just for the walk! Street parking may be available nearby; please check the parking signs. This is a volunteer organised event. Please assess whether the walk suits you, take care of your own safety and belongings, and follow the route at your own pace. The organisers cannot supervise participants or take responsibility for individual safety. Please be respectful and understanding of others so everyone feels welcome. 🌧️ If the weather is poor, the walk may be postponed. Please check the event page for updates before setting off.
