Combine Routes to Create a Single Ride (Distance and Time)!!

rather than creating brand new routes over roads i've already traveled, in different orders or different numbers of loops, i've started to create map pieces, then selecting only those that i use for each ride.

for example, route 1 might be a long straightaway, and route 2 starts at the end of the straightaway, and does a one-mile loop back. route 3 might take me in the other direction for two miles, but it also returns to the end of the straightaway.

day #1, i might ride route 1, then four loops of route 2. day #2, i might ride route 1, two loops of route 2, then 2 loops of route 3... in this way, i am attempting to keep from being bored without having to create a specific (and frequently) new route. as i ride, i note how many times i ride any of the route pieces during that day's ride.

my ask (as an example): i'd like to combine them (select ride 1, then four of ride 2) into a single ride, and post the whole as a single mapped ride with a single time.

is this something i can do already, or am i limited to having to figure out times for different route parts based on an average for the total distance? I have to think that it's easier than drawing new maps each time all I do is more (or fewer) loops, etc.

thx :)

On the Activity Log page https://www.mappedometer.com/log/activitylog.php, you can use the comments field to list all of route segments included in your daily activity. There is a field for the total time of your activity. Currently, you can only specify a single route on the activity page in the route number field. The Activity Log does not have a "calculator" to help add up the distances in each of the route segments for you.

Perhaps you are asking for a "virtual route" feature where you can store a route made up of a sequence of other routes. Or, maybe the ability to list a number of routes, in order, in the activity log for one single activity.
