It took me awhile also Valter, and some coaching. Once you get the method down though, it’s very easy. Use RideWithGPS to draw your route (we just use the free version). Open your route in the View mode, select Share, then select Get Custom Embed, then copy the text string from the Embed Text window. Then, back in CycleBlaze, select the globe icon and paste the embed text into the pop up window.
5 years agoI've read you are using an iPad for blogging, same as I do. How did you solve the problem of transferring the route from you GPS device to the blog? I'm really interested, because I've never found out how to do it.

Yes, Steve. As a native speaker I confirm your opinion.
I don't know how old it is, but sure it was built before 1959, when Taurus stopped producing motor bikes.
I've been biking there at least 4 times in my life going to different destinations. But you make me wish to come back for a 5th time :-) PS: the Via Claudia Augusta connects Venice to Würzburg (not Salzburg; but never mind, we can accept such minor geographical inaccuracies from visitors from the other side of the pond).

5 years agoOh, what a shame that we missed each other. We would have loved that! There’s a fair chance we’ll make it back that way in a few years, so keep in touch. Thanks for checking int.
Cheers,
Scott
Hi Team Anderson! I didn't know you had moved here from CGOAB. Otherwise it would have been great to meet you: I live in this town.
Happy pedalling!

Thanks again for following along and encouraging us, David. On to the Orient!
5 years agoSo disappointing. I was sure I’d found a new variety of eggplant.
5 years agoLooks like seeds pods on some variety of yucca. I've seen these before on other varieties.
5 years agoScott and Rachel,
Somewhere I read: There is no hyperbole in the Alps.
Sounds like the perfect theme for your journey. Bonne continuation.
David and Maun
We passed through Banyoles on our first Pyrenees tour also, n our way from Begur to Besalu. I didn’t really care for it then either. The town that doesn’t want you to leave? I like that. The place sucks.
5 years agoI think it's Banyoles. I had a similar experience on my ride from Girona to Olot in 2016. First, the busy roads from Girona to Banyoles, then my Garmin (using bikefietsmaps) routed me along rough farm tracks out of Banyoles until I finally got onto the paved minor highway--which I could have been on all along had I not gone into Banyoles. It's like a town that doesn't want to let you leave....
5 years agoYou make a good point. And if this was one of the worst days, this was obviously a pretty great tour.
5 years agoUgh. Sounds like a frustrating day. Glad you made it back before dark!
If I had to choose, I would have rather been with you two on this ride than a couple of our worst Undaunted Porridge days. (Easy for me to say from the comfort of a leisurely breakfast with a cup of hot coffee).
After our experience, my worst riding fear is motorist-induced terror.
Thank you, Scott. I hoped you'd found a way to transfer your riding data directly from the GPS navigator, same as you can do with a laptop :-(
