Welcome
- VIEWING: Clicking on the map will bring it up in an
Acrobat Reader window, assuming that you have installed the free Acrobat
Reader software. If you do not have
Acrobat Reader (TM), download a free copy using the button.
- PRINTING: PDF maps should print directly from the Reader.
- CORRECTIONS: If these maps are any good at
all, it is because I have received many suggestions over the years from
riders. Mark up a map and send it to the club
address. If you have a suggested ride, send a map or a description
of the route.
- The maps in this site were made with TurboCad
6.0, using data from rides and other maps, particularly DeLorme Street Atlas
USA™ . DeLorme is not used for the map library due to several
shortcomings. The first is the fact that few club members and others have
this software. Second, for large-scale maps, such as the Hat Rock to
Pendleton ride, fine detail such as downtown Pendleton is lost when the entire
map is printed on one page. A CAD program overcomes these problems by
allowing scale distortion where needed. Finally, the CAD maps can be saved
in a common format, such as PDF.
Ride Codes:
Green:
Less than 15 miles with nearly level terrain.
Blue:
15-40
miles with moderate terrain.
Black: Greater
than 40 miles with moderate terrain, or fewer than 40 with hard climbs.
