So I made a whole bunch of rides over a short period so I cannot remember for sure whether I made the route using my phone or my PC, but the process I used for this one was:
- Go to google.com/mymaps
- create a new map
- search for "Strada Provinciale"
- picked a random spot near what looked like a fairly empty location (not too much city) and did a "Place a new point" operation on the map and placed a point in the road
- picked a random spot some distance away - not really any particular distance, just kind of estimated a good long distance
- did another "Place a new point" operation on the map and placed another point on the road
- highlighted both points and hit the "Directions" button which created a 'Directions from Point 1 to Point 2' layer
- exported that layer using the usual KML method
- went into Explorer, Explore Rides->Created and selected my ride
- chose "Ride Forward"
I haven't tried it yet a second time - I will later today - but when I did this I started out facing some kind of brick wall. I looked all around and saw the white dots almost directly behind me.
