I’m lost regarding mapping and graphing elevation (exp. the latter). Where is the program to do this on a non-mac PC?

Thanks.

I like it. Easy on the eyes, easy to navigate around.
Thanks for your hard work, keep it up.

I like the route creating utility. It works much better than Veloroutes. Thanks for a great site.

Your site is coming along. I could spend more time than available browsing through the links in the various categories.

As far as training rides. I do not work at any real training. Some friends of mine and I have pulled together a bunch of guys and gals in the upper years of life to begin riding. It is great social time and the bike tours we have attended have given us more experiences to talk about.

Great site. One thing I’d like to see, (to get me away from mapmyride.com) would be the ability to embed routes on my blog/website. Especially if it included elevation info with it.

Oh… and I hope I win something, all the prizes look great.

Clicking the My Account on this page -> http://www.roadbikerides.com/contest.php?do=rules does not take me to my account. It leaves me on the Rules page. I expected to go to my account page. It appears that the My Account link on any page is set to the page the user is on. Like I said I expected to get to the Control Panel to edit my Profile when clicking the My Account link.

The GPX import bug might be a Mac Firefox bug, using Safari on the Mac I was able to upload a GPX file and have it map and submit just fine. So the auto upload doesn’t seem to fire off on my Mac under Firefox.

BUG REPORT
When I registered on the email that was sent, the Welcome email, the return address is using the IP address webmaster@72.47.206.106. Also it would be nice to have a link to the site in the welcome message along with a recap of the username so the user can keep it for their records in case they forget it 3 months down the road.

I have GPX files I want to upload, I might be missing how to do this on the Ride.Submit page, I click the browse button find it on my system and select it. The path to the file is in the upload field, but I don’t see an upload button to actually transfer the file up. The only button to initiate any action is the Start Drawing and it is segmented on the right and appears to go with Option Two. So it’s missing an upload button.

In the drawing section, Ride.Step1B, it would be nice to default to the location in my profile and not Tucson.

Spring is here! Time to hit the road even more- Love the site, and what a great prize package. I got my eye on the Orca! Of course with first prize, I could get an orca and some other toys!
The weather here in the midwest has been cooperative, so getting out 3-4 days a week has been pretty easy.
