We like dirt roads actually, so that would be a plus, not a minus.

Will do, good suggestion.

PS - A local once told me the term was really "Stonies" not "Cutters"? Anyway, yes.

Connecting ACA Routes / Bloomington IN - Eastern Express

Looking to take Eastern Express Trans Am route westbound, but would like to go through Bloomington IN perhaps where I have family.
That appears to be about 20 miles south of the route (map 14). I can toy with mapping apps but wondered if anyone had done similar work already

GPS & Digital Data Discussion / Custom poster similar to TransAm Poster
« on: July 27, 2022, 08:27:32 pm »
I recently bought the great TransAm map poster from ACA. Trying to plan a similar trip, but different and wondered if anyone has a good process for creating custom posters that are similar to this?
Thinking the process might be something like this, but I have no idea what I am talking about mind you:
1) use ridewithgps to create the entire route (I am premium member, so I can merge routes, but some is manual routing of course)
2) export a gpx(? format?) to disk
3) import gpx into google earth
and turn on profile? (geez, I dislike the satellite view) OR
3) import gpx (??) into google maps and use randymajors.org to turn on profile (not that I have actually tried randymajors.org yet)
4) turn on what seems relevant and print to pdf using a huge paper size (24x36 for example) and then crop to get rid of extraneous stuff
5) take may cropped pdf to FedEx and print it.
Anyone do this?

Music is not necessary, imo, or could be very soft in background. You can add narration in the end, after video editing, as a separate audio track. May take a couple tries to be comfortable with the sound of your own voice. Fwiw

Nice video. My favorite bike tour videos include narration. More work for the videographer, if done after the fact, but more meaningful to those of us who weren't on the tour.

Routes / White Hall VA Community Center
« on: April 10, 2012, 06:48:33 am »
Thinking about camping one night behind the community center in White Hall, VA (TransAm trail), which I hear people do, but then I also hear the center is mostly locked these days??? A bit confused what you do about water and facilities in that case. I know how to wilderness camp, but normal functions become ill-mannered inside town limits.....
