It’s another chance to practice downloading map files and you may even get to lead the ride for one of the segments. We’ve broken the ride up into 5 route segments, please download these:
You will need to have Routes turned on in GaiaGPS to see these Routes.

Did you know you can customize which data overlays your map?
On the GaiaGPS.com website click the “View Map Overlays” icon (circled top left corner) to see which map overlays are displayed. In the smartphone app click the layers icon (top right corner) then click Map Overlays (arrow) to reveal which overlays are displayed.
There are times when there is too much data on the screen or perhaps you’re looking for a Public Track to ride but there aren’t any showing so remember to check your overlays!

It’s time to get practical and apply your newfound GPS skills, the second GPS Training session will be hands on so you’ll need to bring your GPS and laptop (if possible).
The group will split into Gaia and Garmin users so we can work through a number of topics on your GPS. File management is one of the more difficult tasks so bringing your laptop and GPS cord will allow us to practice this.
Please register by emailing the club, coffee and donuts will be provided, the course will be held at J-Ball Electronics in the lane behind Banner Recreation.
The Bardolph Lake area has some great trails but we also want to bring attention to the other information you can find in the ATV Club Trail Share.
Where possible we’ve added safety notices and this trail contains one such warning: a fun straight stretch with a hidden dip for a creek crossing. On the map you’ll see a skull and cross bones for this hazard (unfortunately Gaia doesn’t have a CAUTION icon).
