It comes down FM875, which is the road we started back from Waxahachie on, but we turned off. As you'll recall, FM875 has chipseal, rolling hills, and a bit more traffic than I liked, but it's nothing like those rough roads we ended up on last time.
 
I haven't ridden the 100 mile version of this ride. That stretch of FM875 isn't exactly my favorite, but most of the route looks good. And it's not a brevet; we could even pick our own way back from Waxahachie.

I used my new Map Source DVD to create GPS routes for the Venus ride.
 
It is my first try and i am anxious to know if they work - John

OK I took a look at it.  It looks good as it follows the route.  The only change I might suggest is to set the way points immediately after the intersections where you turn instead of right in the middle of the intersections.  Im running  Garmin XT software on my BlackJack2 smart phone, so this change might be ONLY valid to the Garmin XT while its runing voice commands.   The software gets confused and the Voice-Lady guides you to the way point then trys to tell you to make the turn without any advance warning.     I supose this would not be an issue if I was scoping the GPS screen instead of watching the road.   If you make the way points immeiatly after the turn the Garmin XT software voice  will FIRST voice a warning to make the turn on the route then it will annouce that you are at a way point.
 
I dont know how the Edge GPS computer work.  I heard tht they flash there screen while approaching turns and way points.  
 
I suggest doing an experiment on a short route around your neiborhood to see what happens with your GPS and way points.

You can ck out this and you may also convert to Google Earth view.

The ride starts on the south side of that square. You just park on the side of one of the streets near there. They stop every 10 to 20 miles. There are cue sheets here.
