I've had many instances where Google Maps would have me ride miles up to a trail that the required me ride miles back down to the road I was riding on in the first place. That is the road I was on ran nearly straight but the route to the trail, the trail and the route back to the road I was on would be a huge flattened inverted "U". That's why I started to plot my own route on the Google Map I used for planning. I find that the distances given on my plots on Google Maps are pretty accurate. Cheers |

Cheers Well in that place it would have been very difficult to get lost. Or lost enough to be dangerous. You were on the West side of the mountain and the river ran down hill so following the river would lead you to "civilization", or at least civilization of a sort. The Central Branch of the Yuba River was where a great deal of the early gold rush activity took place and I discovered a Chinese graveyard way up at the top of the mountain. After I found the graveyard I did find it listed, in small print, on a topo map. Some of the work that had been done by hand up there in the 1800's was amazing. There were roads that had been built cantilevered out over the side of a cliff. -- cheers, John B. |

Better than google map for plotting bike rides. You can choose to stick to the road or a bike path. If you have a smart phone you can also download the ride to your phone so no data costs if you want to follow it. Our club uses it to host our rides and we’ve had good results. -- duane |
