Map of Sylvan Island

[Bexter]

this is by far the best map of sylvan i've ever seen.

Sincerely, nice job!

agreed!

[Takophiliac]

Agreed, this map is amazing.
Any chance we can get it on the board at sylvan (and maybe a few junctions around the island)?

[JARVAN]

Agreed, the map is awesome. It would be great to have it posted out there too, just so I don't miss any fun!

We try and change the course every year. Granted, it's difficult to make it hugely different given space limitations. But yes, many of us know several of the past year's courses. Post something on the Let's Ride thread and see if you can get a group ride together. I'm out of town this weekend or I'd volunteer to guide you around the island.

does anyone know the course they ride for the stamped ride they have in april

You're in luck. Tomorrow is group ride at Sylvan night. There is rain in the forecast, so keep an eye on the weather. If we get too much, we will have to cancel.

I thought that too at first, then I noticed that it actually says .1 mile. Awesome map!

Just curious what you used to make the map. Im guessing a gps?

Yep, you usually take the GPS file and overlay it onto a satellite image.

The map is a combination of aerial imagery, GPS tracks, and on the ground observation data. The trails at sylvan, being very closely spaced and twisty, present some difficulties for many consumer GPS devices. Most of the trails in this map were drawn using my mental map of the island in coordination with GPS/aerial image data as reference.

The actual map artwork is drawn in vector based graphics software.

After seeing that map its no wonder I cant memorize those trails. At least not yet, I haven't. But in my defense, I've been there less than ten times. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
