I just saw you're planning a G3 event in sept that's exciting!  I may see if I can get off once you finalize the dates.

I promise I'll stop post-monologing after this.  Here's a great resource I use when in WV looking for roads.  Anything on this map you have legal/public right to be on  It's a state issued map for each county in PDF format.  Download it to your phone and use a PDF viewer to navigate with when you're riding.  It works pretty well  if you're a real GPS guru you can probably make an overlay with it too but I don't know how.

Here's another great resource for the electronics geek.  This link shows you how to take a route from google maps and convert it to a GPX you can put on your GPS.  Also it guides you to a great GPS app that you can use to navigate with.  I'm a big fan because I can do all this from my chrombook without the use of special software etc giving me the freedom of working anywhere I have wifi or cell service.

No problem! Glad you liked them.  They are what I primarily use to plan my routes in WV.  Once in a while they show an impassible or gated road but they are much more reliable than google maps for if the road is open or not.

Outstanding event!  We had both on and off tarmac rides. Both were fantastic.  Everyone was great to hang out with throughout the weekend.  Here are some photos...























Snow??  Nope, it's the mist of the West Virginia night.
