What is it? (Content reused from BMA newsletter with Thanks!)

The RideOFTR trail map system and app is an OFTR members only Web and Mobile Device enabled mapping and GPS system.

You can use the RideOFTR system to view, plan and/or be guided via the GPS phone app on the vast trail network the OFTR and their Member clubs have developed across Ontario! 

How do I use it?

 

The OFTR put together a “Getting Started” video and some written instructions you can use to get started. View the video first and have the instructions handy for the next steps.
