Vuelta a España iCal

The Vuelta a España starts this weekend and here’s a calendar for your diary.

As ever this format proves very popular but it’s a tricky one for the Vuelta, which stages should you watch out for? There will be daily previews but until then the diary’s stages have a subjective star rating for their importance to the race and likely action.

If you’re familiar with ical files, here’s the URL for the ics file.

https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/8m433v3gugmqcljhc77jgbof0s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

Save the ics / iCal / iCalendar file and you can import it into your electronic diary. One or two clicks and it’s on your iPhone / Outlook etc. The default settings have alerts turned off but check your device to avoid annoyance. Best of all, copy this URL and use it to subscribe to the calendar and this way any changes and updates will be pushed to your diary.

Alternatively if you use Google then see calendar below and the +Google Calendar link on the bottom-right. Note this method can work with Android phones when the iCal file might not.

Here’s the calendar of stages for you to see:

If you want more help on how to make use of this, see the inrng.com/calendar page which has the calendar for all the main men’s and women’s pro races in 2018 and a fuller explanation of how to put a calendar into Outloook, an iPhone, your diary etc.
