Right click on them. Then select "Create Route using selected waypoints."
You'll see your route created at the bottom of the list of selected waypoints.
Right click on you're route. Select "open".

Exit that window and your route is now ready to download to the Garmin.
Also, you need to check the "options" under the "Edit" menu and make sure that you have appropriate "Activity Profile" selected.
This is a rather brief explanation but I hope it helps.
