Log in to the MyRec account you'd like to export the calendar from, and navigate to the Calendar page. The URL should be something like "https://[yourCityName].myrec.com/info/calendar/account.aspx".
Click the Extensions icon in your Chrome Toolbar and select MyRec Calendar Export from the dropdown. An .ics file of your MyRec events should automatically download.
By default, this extension exports a full year of calendar items, starting on the day the script is run. You can change this by supplying your own Date() objects for the startTime and endTime variables in my-rec.js.
Exported calendars do not sync with changes in MyRec—you will need to re-export any time you add/remove/change your schedule. Also, successive exports/imports will not overwrite/update existing event data. I would recommend creating a separate calendar for MyRec events within the calendar app of your choosing that you can fully delete before making a new import.
Finally, MyRec sandwiches the name of the event participant and event venue into its event titles. By default, this Extension attempts (in the parseTitle() function) to parse those into the ICS fields for Attendee and Location. This is based on some possibly unreliable assumptions about title text format.
The script does attempt to check for problems (in checkSafeTitle()) but if you run into issues and/or want all events formatted consistently, you can turn off this title parsing by setting isTitleParsed to false.
