You should also take plenty of photos. Photos are the best tool we have to capture the beauty, excitement, and fun that is possible on a great route. They can be a bit of a double-edged sword: too few, and the route is not sufficiently represented; too many, and it’s cumbersome to find the highlights. If a photo doesn’t add something unique, we recommend removing it. If you have multiple photos showing the same thing, pick out the best one and let it stand alone.
Ambassador routes require at least three photos.
To add photos to your route, return to your personal profile and follow the steps to add photos. You can also take photos in the Ride with GPS mobile app, which will create geo-tagged photos that show up on the map in the location they are tagged.
Imagine yourself riding along with our app hearing these cues aloud as you approach:
- Would you miss a turn?
- Would you get confused?
A carefully crafted cuesheet can be absolutely critical in keeping the rider from getting lost.
Once you have completed and carefully reviewed routes in your personal account, click the “+ new ambassador route” button under your Ambassador profile. Click “edit” in the new route box, and you will be able to select from the drop-down menu containing all of your saved routes
Now that you’ve got your route together, head over to Part 3 to learn how to make your route Postcard.
Use the Ambassador route guidelines page for reference when creating your routes.
