Say Goodbye to Getting Lost: Introducing Bike to the Beach's New Navigation Tools
For the past decade, Bike to the Beach has been dedicated to providing our riders with a seamless and enjoyable charity bike ride experience. One key aspect of this experience has been our physical turn signs at each junction, guiding our riders along the route. While this system has served us well, we’ve listened to your feedback and realized that there’s a better way to navigate our rides – one that’s more efficient, user-friendly, and doesn’t rely on physical signs.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our switch to a new navigation plan powered by Ride With GPS. This innovative phone application is set to revolutionize the way our riders navigate our charity rides, offering a host of benefits that we’re excited to share with you.
Why the Change?
Our physical turn signs have been a staple of Bike to the Beach rides, providing a familiar sight for our riders. However, maintaining these signs is a labor-intensive process, and we’ve encountered situations where signs go missing or are taken down, leading to confusion and frustration for our participants. We believe it’s time for an upgrade – one that not only simplifies navigation but also enhances the overall riding experience.
The Benefits of Ride With GPS:
- Effortless Navigation: With Ride With GPS, riders can navigate the entire route on their cell phones with turn-by-turn directions and voice navigation. Say goodbye to the stress of missing a turn.
- Battery-Saving: The route will be downloaded to your phone, so there’s no need to worry about draining your battery during the ride.
- Accessible for All: We understand that some riders may be new to using their phones for navigation. That’s why we’re offering bike mounts and battery chargers in our online store, making phone navigation accessible to everyone.
How it Works (Learn More):
- Sign Up: When you register for our event, you’ll receive an auto-approval link to sync the event to your Ride With GPS account.
- Sync and Go: Use the link to sync the event to your account, unlocking free navigation for the entire route.
- Navigate with Ease: Enjoy turn-by-turn directions and voice navigation on your cell phone as you ride, ensuring you never miss a beat.
Training Seminars and Tutorials:
To ensure a smooth transition to Ride With GPS, we’ll be hosting a series of training seminars and sending video tutorials via email, text, and social media. These resources will guide you through the process of downloading and using the application, so you can feel confident and prepared on ride day.
