Randoplan weather forecast Chrome extension

[Steve Palincsar]

The author of Randoplan, the weather forecasting application (for example, for this ride I'm leading tomorrow: https://bit.ly/3wvBkEP ) has made a Chrome extension that lets you load randoplan directly from a route's RWGPS page.  As you're viewing the route, go to extensions and chose the Randoplan extension, and it will come up with the route information already loaded.

The extension also works with Chromium, the Open Source version of Chrome.

If you're not familiar with the application, here are the two main screens (besides the screen where you enter the route number, starting time and anticipated average speed on level ground)

The author, Brian Feinberg is a California randonneur himself, and designed the application specifically to facilitate planning for randonneuring events.  But it's also useful for shorter rides and for planning rides of differeing lengths and speeds that arrive at designated locations at the same time, such as bike club all-class rides.
