How to use the map.

 The map is a database of locations to safely park your tractor trailer and enjoy a bike ride.  Most locations feature very close access to a trail or nearby attractions to ride to on roads.

Some areas are rural, some busy and urban,  and plenty in-between.  Some locations to park are well known truck stops, others are lesser known locations.  None of the locations are knowingly illegal or dangerous.

The main map shows the main location of a place to park and ride.  When you click on a location it will open a more detailed map.  You can zoom and manipulate the map like any other Google map.  The icons can be clicked on to learn what is at that location (parking, trail access, food, park...).

Enjoy your Ride and Roll experience, and tell others about it!!!

What do I need?

A safe bicycle!  Of course you should have some water/maybe snacks/maybe an area map...you can ride with a variety of clothes, spend as much money as you want on specialty items etc.  A local bike club can be a great source of information from experienced cyclists, and they can likely tell you of a good bike shop.

One very general, but good tip- with bikes you get what you pay for...but you do not need to spend a fortune.

I've also heard the internet has some information ;-)

Check back for some good links very soon (before MATS).

 

 

Common sense stuff.

Ride and Roll is a site put together by your fellow truck drivers in our spare time.  We make every effort to be as accurate as possible when creating the maps that show places to park your truck safely and enjoy bike riding and seeing the local sites.  Please keep in mind that no map is perfect and businesses move/close.  Do not hesitate to let us know about changes.

Enjoy!
