Here is a description of how to view the ride files that I will be posting. They can be viewed in Google Earth, which will provide an airplane-like "fly over" of the route.
1. You will need to download Google Earth - do so by clicking HERE and following the instructions.
2. Download the Ride file to your Desktop (click on the "Ride File" link, download the file, ignore the ads). Here is a link to a Brooklyn, NY to Piermont, NY ride: Ride File
3. Open Google Earth, then open the downloaded Ride file (you will need to change the "files of type" in the dialog box to Gps).
4. Within Google Earth, go to Tools-Options - and then select the "Touring" Tab. Try these settings for the "Driving Directions Tour Options":
Angle- 45 degrees
Height- 1500 meters
Speed- 600
Click "Apply" and then "Ok".
5. On the lower left hand side, in the "Layers" area, only "Borders and Labels" and "Terrain" should be checked.
6. Now, click on the "play" button that is just above the "Layers" bar. It should play the ride. Enjoy!
