Please note, to print these maps you will need a Strava account login.   What are the advantages to using Strava?  Strava is the sporting equivalent of Facebook (and you can cross link to Facebook as well).  It allows you to log all of your rides, walks, runs, kayak  sessions, ski runs, and swims and collect your statistics on a timely basis.  It is not intended to be a race as to who is best, merely a sporting location to share your joy of being in the great outdoors.  We have created a 'club' on Strava so all of your rides can be linked to Bike Palatine Club as a collective.  With a free Strava login you can create rides to share with your friends like we have here.

Here are some nice YouTube links on the basics of using Strava.   Rider explaining his basics   Strava user guide video
