Ride with GPS uses Collections as a convenient way to organize, group, access, and share activities and routes according to any theme or preference. Sort and share multi-day trip itineraries, your region's best gravel rides, or group rides with multiple course options. Collections can be created, managed, edited, and shared by individual, club, and organization accounts alike, providing a practical way to present and share routes with friends, family, group ride participants, and your larger community.
