I spent at least eight hours combing Garmin Connect to create a kmz file with many PA rides. It was a pain in the :moon: as Garmin Connect does not cooperate sometimes. I am guessing my homework will pay off when I come out in a few weeks.
1. The file will only open in Google Earth.
2. I may have misnamed some of the rides/trails...I only went off what they were called on GC.
3. Some tracks may be illegal trails as I have no idea what I downloaded...hopefully there isn't much of this.
4. I (sort of) organized it into to different folders.
5. Some of the tracks are redundant. I HAVE NOT CLEANED IT UP YET. I will clean up the "high value" rides once I know what I'm going to do/ride...
6. Suffice it to say, that as it stands the file is a work in progress. You are welcome to build on it, edit it, and use it right here on your website for others to use.
Thank you in advance btw, as I recognize some of your names, as they are the same here as on Garmin Connect. :thumbsup: I could not have done it without you!
file: http://mtbthreads.com/trail/ (*We found a lot more gps tracks, and new trails since this thread began. When its all over I will load them to a server again, so the community can use and edit them.)
Here is my my concern:
We are looking for the "highest value" for our time out here. We'll be driving a gas-hog, and probably have to stick to East, and Central PA, maybe Jersey-- unless there is some place we just have to ride. I'll be staying in Lehighton, and living on the road when we figure out our (four day?) tour. From the looks of it we'll do 2-5 rides a day depending on how far apart they are and how long the rides are. There appear to be a lot of short ones.
So...with or without looking at the file:
What is your Top Ten (or twenty) "high value" list of places to ride in PA (or neighboring states)...
we prefer single track to dirt roads, but don't mind a little road to make connections...
