Scott, maybe you did mean ridewithgps? It's just that that is the source of the map in today's post.
I went to mapmyride and was signing up when I decided to look at their "privacy" policy. Mapmyride is a service of the big company UnderArmour, and their policy clearly reflects weeks of work by lawyers and programmers, to wring every bit of use they can extract from your information. Even though as blog writers we clearly are not big on privacy, it scared me off!
What I can tell you about MapMyRide is that it’s the app we used for several years, before we converted to RideWithGPS. It does not integrate with CycleBlaze that I know of, and doesn’t work as well either. Brain fart.
6 years agoScott, Jeff's tip note seems to say you can only imbed RideWithGPS and Strava. Tell more about Mapmyride!

"Those cow photos are great, but you need more cats!"
We use Mapmyride. It works really well for us as a planning tool (you can scope out distances, total elevation gain, gradients and so on) and generates gpx files we can download to our Garmin devices. Another plus is that it generates a file that you can paste into CycleBlaze to embed maps. That’s how we add our route to our entries.
Yes, we plan on riding up the Drau, but only for about thirty miles. We plan on taking a day ride to Lienz from our stay in Toblach, but after that we head west and into the mountains. It looks like a great route though. Are you planning on following it all the way to Slovenia?
Oh yes. All those cow photos. I’ve been meaning to say something about that.
6 years agoHi Scott snd Rachael - i am having a dickens of a time responding to your notes on our blog so am posting a response here on your blog. Rachael thanks for your tip on Toblack. From the sounds of it our paths might just intersect. That would be fun. Taking a couple days off in Cortina... really enjoying the Dolomites and plan to spend a few more days exploring. Scott I don’t know if your read a response to you on our blog - day 21 I think. I was asking what app you use to get an an idea of elevations you might encounter on any one day. I use Galileo exclusively and just discovered a feature which is very useful. I can bookmark a destination for the day and then generate a route. It tell you the elevations at any point on that route. You can make adjustments to the route easily or extend the destination. Anyway lets keep in touch as we head east and you west. Are you going up the Drau?
6 years agoYour limit on cat photos is entirely self imposed. I could absorb lots more, food too. My own blogs also have unlimited cows!
6 years agoClose enough for me! Not much out there that I'm even vaguely familiar with...
I did find a website with a lichen ID key for Italy...

Good luck!
That’s two votes for more cats, so we may have to reconsider. Perhaps one cat per week, per author. Probably should apply to food photos as well - Rachael has been carping (heh, heh) that we’re not showing her favorite fish dish because we’re maxed out.
6 years agoOnly one cat per week? I don't think that's enough.
More cats, please!
We like both food and cat photos, the more the merrier.
6 years agoIt’s turning into a pretty wonderful tour, alright - especially now that the weather has cooled down a bit and it’s not so humid.the last several days have all been really special.
