In that case, just point your bike and go. I can’t recommend one highly enough… unless your idea of fun is going out with nothing but a road map and exploring. If you haven’t gotten a Garmin or Wahoo cycling computer that has turn-by-turn navigation capabilities, they’re the bees knees. Today, all I have to do is take three minutes on my laptop to create a route file from any of the tracking sites, convert it, drop it into my Garmin and ride. I’ve never used a cue sheet, though my buddy, Mike has on a couple rides… and I can’t tell you how glad I am that I don’t have to ride around with a silly cue sheet folder strapped to my handlebar. The only other needed piece of info is that you’ll have to rename the file to something that resembles a readable name – get ride of the dashes and percentage signs before you place it in your Garmin “Routes” folder. I export my files to my download folder, and that’s where the conversion site deposits the new file. You’ll have to set up a free account to complete the process, but it’s simple enough.

What if you’re using Endomondo or Strava, though? You can export the GPX file and convert it to TCX or FIT at this ( site).

First, you can kick your rides from Garmin Connect to a free or paid Ride With GPS account – RWGPS will export routes in FIT format – it’s exceedingly simple from there. So, what to do? Well, there are a few ways to go about setting all of this up. Well, I’m a big route following kind of guy – I like to know where I’m going when riding out of town and I like love the turn-by-turn direction navigation capabilities in my Garmin. Sure, Strava is big, but it only exports to GPX and GPX doesn’t work on a Garmin… only TCX and FIT files work on a Garmin…

Ride with GPS is one of the better GPS activity tracking sites (especially the paid, upgraded account).
