Routeslip.com users: Acquisition Announcement

Right to the Point

I'm excited to announce that RouteSlip.com has been acquired by MapMyFitness.

MapMyFitness is a collection of excellent fitness websites including MapMyRide, the leading website for creating and sharing cycling routes and tracking your training goals.

What Does this Mean?

The acquisition means great things to come for RouteSlip.com users.

Lots of new features and great user support.

The founders of MapMyFitness share my excitement for riding and my commitment to the cycling community. MapMyFitness has a staff of full-time developers and sales reps, and the management team is doing a great job building the infrastructure for a sustainable business. Moreover, I will become a member of the MapMyFitness technical steering committee, helping generate ideas and implement new features. I've received a lot of flattering emails from people about RouteSlip.com, and I'm looking forward to working with the MapMyFitness team to develop unique features for users.

Your user account and all of your routes will be saved.

We will automatically merge RouteSlip.com user accounts and routes to the MapMyRide platform, and traffic to RouteSlip.com will be re-directed to MapMyRide. I will keep you posted on the process, and I will let you know in advance if RouteSlip.com is going to be offline. RouteSlip.com will continue to operate as normal until the merger is complete. In the next several weeks, we will begin the migration of data from RouteSlip.com to MapMyFitness. Our goal is to complete the migration by the end of the year.

What's Next?

First, I want to thank each of you for making RouteSlip.com successful. I'm really happy that I was able to create something that so many people have enjoyed. Second, let me know which features you like the most about RouteSlip.com, and what you'd like to see at MapMyRide. Please don't hesitate to email me with any comments or questions. We've set up public forum in the MapMyFitness public forums to help answer any questions you may have. Finally, I hope you're as excited as I am about the next steps. I look forward to creating and sharing routes with you at MapMyRide.

Thanks,

Ryan Huff
Founder, RouteSlip.com

Both MapMyRide and Routeslip use your email address to identify you.  As long as they email address is the same on both sites, this should all be automatic.  Note that on MapMyRide, you can change your email address in your profile if you need to do that to make them match.
