Edit a route's details

Change how a route is named and described on the club page, or hide it from members.

You need the Editor or Owner role.

Change the name, code, tags, shoes or notes

1. Open Routes and click the route's card.
2. Click Edit details.
3. Change what you need, then click Save.

The fields are:

• Code: one to three letters and a number, with an L for the long option, like W5, W5L or AS12. Leave it empty if the route has no code.
• Name: every route needs one.
• Tags: tick any that fit, such as Lit at night, Trail, Muddy in winter or Buggy friendly.
• Shoes: Work it out from the map (the usual choice), Road shoes or Trail shoes. Club Routes works out how much of the route is off-road from the map and suggests trail shoes at 25% or more. If you know better, pick one: the club page then shows it as the club's pick. Cycling clubs' pages don't show shoes.
• Good to know (shown on the club page): a short note for runners, up to 600 characters.

Changes show on the club page straight away. You can filter Routes by tag, too.

Pick a route for members

Recommend up to 6 routes on the members' Routes tab, under Picked by the club.

1. Open the route.
2. Under Picked by the club, click Pick it for members.
3. Add a line on Why it's worth running if you like, such as "Our longest. Save it for a big Sunday." Members see it on the route's card.
4. Click Pick it.

To change the line, click Change the line. To take it off, click Unpick. You can also do this under Edit details. If 6 are already picked, unpick one first.

Hide a route from members

Hiding takes a route off the club page and the website, but keeps it in your library: the committee still sees it on Routes, with a Hidden tag. Useful for a route that's closed for the winter, or one you're still checking.

1. Open the route.
2. Click Hide from members.

To see only hidden routes, choose Hidden from members in the Show list. Open one and click Show to members to put it back on the club page.

A hidden route can't be chosen for a date. If one is still on a date in the next three weeks, it shows under Needs you on Today. Show it to members, or choose another route.
