Ride With GPS

Ride With GPS (RWGPS) is the online tool that we are using to collect your ride data and produce the leaderboard. When you registered for the Wheelmen 100 Challenge, you received a confirmation e-mail which informed you of the link that you needed to join the Challenge on RWGPS. If you didn’t previously have a RWGPS account, you will have to create a starter account. You only need a starter account to participate. Yes, a starter account is free! One you have an account, you will need to join the Challenge on RWGPS.

Below are the steps that you need to take so that your real and virtual rides are included in the challenge.
