Due to the ongoing Coronavirus and Covid-19 public health crisis OHBTC is as of now canceling all sanctioned club events to include all currently posted rides, regularly scheduled rides, and any other club gathering. This status will be updated as the situation evolves.
if you choose to go out and ride, exercise all due caution. Stay healthy and safe, and we’ll see you all as soon as we can!
Ride With GPS Club Account
OHBTC’s Ride With GPS club account is at
https://ridewithgps.com/clubs/298-oxon-hill-bicycle-and-trail-club.
OHBTC club members can join the club account free and
take advantage of the paid features unlocked for all
routes in the club route library.
With the
RWGPS
app on your smartphone, you can have
offline maps and turn by turn
voice navigation on club routes.
The Club Route Library is at
https://ridewithgps.com/clubs/298-oxon-hill-bicycle-and-trail-club/routes.
The club has several route managers who have been adding
their routes to
the library
The routes can be sorted and/or filtered by route name,
tag, location, distance, elevation and creation date. Clicking
on a route takes you to the route map, cue sheet and GPS
files, which can be downloaded to a Garmin unit. OHBTC is
following a naming convention of using the first two initials
of the start location, the distance and destination as the
route name, e.g.,
BR 44 Riverside is a 44-mile route from Bryans Road
Shopping Center to Riverside.

Making cue sheets
you can make cue sheets for rides. The RideWithGPS cue sheets
have turn symbols and extra words that make the cue sheet
more difficult to read than the simple format used for most
OHBTC cue sheets.
Ride leaders usually manually cut and paste a RideWithGPS
cue sheet to format it into a simpler format. Now, there
is a “bookmarklet” that can be used to make a
cue sheet in the OHBTC format if you are viewing a
RideWithGPS route. To install the “bookmarklet,”
go to ../cuesheet_maker.html
and drag the link for the “Cuesheet Maker” to
your browser’s bookmark bar.
Whenever you are viewing a RideWithGPS route, you can click
on “Cuesheet Maker” button on your bookmark bar
to create a cue sheet. For an illustration
of the process, see ../cuesheet_maker.pdf.
NOTE: You must be viewing the route in the “Classic Mode”
view and not the “Beta Mode.”
You can switch from Beta Mode to Classic Mode by clicking “More”
V “View in Classic Mode.”
An alternative to using “Cuesheet Maker” is using URL https://ohbike.org/cuesheet.php?route=”route number”;
for example
https://ohbike.org/cuesheet.php?route=19409400
