It was my first Ride It event but hopefully not my last. Thanks to all the folk for organising it and to the riders who made a cold and hilly event easier! I might try the route again in the summer to see how it compares!  Really enjoyed the 50mile road event yesterday. It was my first Ride It event but hopefully not my last.

I'm trying to upload to GC and can't - will need to have a word. If you put them through a converter like bikeroutetoaster.com to a .fit file then they should upload.

I've had a dig about and the 500 doesn't accept gpx files!  It needs .fit files and I think this is an option on GC. Have a look and so if you can convert and then put them in the new files.

I have now managed to save it to the New Files folder on my Edge 500 but it doesn't show up a a course or activity. Do I need to move it to another folder before I can use it? Sorry to seem so vague, but I'm new to Garmin! Thanks Rob  Dean

If you have the 500 you should be downloading the files that <strong>don't</strong> have "for GARMIN only" in the title Are you loading them into the "new files" directory on your unit? Dean</p> Hi Rob

There are two files for each route, one for Garmin 800s and one for everything else. If you have the 500 you should be downloading the files that don’t have “for GARMIN only” in the title

Are you loading them into the “new files” directory on your unit?
