The GamJams Great Group Ride Map

I'm no expert on the tons of organized group rides running year-round. But collectively, my guess is that you all are. So I've built this GamJams Great Group Ride Map as a place to drop in the rides your club participates in, your shop promotes, your coffee shop looks forward to, and you're trying to get off the ground. I've got it started with a few of the well-known ones (Rock Creek on weekends, Hains Point at lunch, the Reston rides, the Goon Ride on Tuesdays and Thursdays, etc), but in order for it to be universally useful, it needs a little more richness.

So add your ride using the boxes below the map (for 'Place or Business Name' enter the name of the ride, and for 'Address, City or Country' your best bet is a precise address that you know shows up accurately in Google Maps. You can also just use lattitute and longitude if you're a Garmin geek). If the map gives you attitude, just email me the start location, day, time, and a ride description and I'll throw it in.

By the way, you can also add comments to any of the rides in the map and even rate them from 1 to 5 stars if you're so inclined. So have at it.

[The full screen version of the map might be a little easier to use.]

 

BTW - if you want to add this map to your website - a blog, your club's or shop's site, the corporate intranet, whatever - go ahead. You just need to insert this piece of code onto the page you want the map to live.

Mike,

Great site with really timely information. This is a valuable resource for the mid-atlantic racing community. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. Wait until this map thing actually works. We hit it so hard we crashed the company that makes it. So much for their next round of funding...

Are people still using this map? I heard something about a group ride leaving from a lot outside the greenbelt metro on Wednesday evenings and I'm trying to find out about it...

Hey Kevin-

Yeah, people are still using it, and as far as I know most of the rides in here are accurate. But there are rides that go on that aren't in here. If you know about some, feel free to add.

I'm also looking to port this over into something that works better. I just haven't done it yet.
