We were thinking of doing that- but Seaview is wicked steep at the
very beginning- probably'd have to walk our bikes. Once one the ridge
it's nice- short.

I love this multi-trail thing: what a great way to get out of traffic,
into nature, but still feel fast and smooth
I like that by posting links here, we can use any mapping site we
like, which seems 5x as inclusive.
A short description of length, difficulty, and location, along with
the link is probably useful for long-term searchability. City, County/
Parish, state, length, road surface ('mixed terrain'), and
That might work- use searchable terms in the body of the post, and
something descriptive and easy to sort in the Subject line:
Subject: Trail Database: [location, state, approx mileage]
e.g.,
Subject: Trail Database: Berkeley, CA, 12 miles
Then a fuller description and links in the body.
BTW,
When I lived in Berkeley, my favorite mixed-terrain route was to take
the seaview trail from Inspiration Point up to Grizzly Peak. The
on-road parts of the ride varied, but it was typical to go up Spruce
and come down Claremont or Tunnel. No Rivendells back then, so I did
it on a 700c hybrid
I made a map, added the phrase Rivendell Friendly to it, and tried
to find it, both in GMaps, and in GGoogle. There doesn't seem to be
any searchability in personal maps, even if they're public. Ideally, I
could zoom in on Orange County, type Rivendell Ride in the maps
search and find five or six
Yes- my first 'country bike' ride. It started out pretty downhill,
then rolling hills. Must do again, or try variants; head further
east, or the Marin headlands, etc. It's nice to be cruising along in
the wilderness, no car traffic.

Yes, I've never figured out how to save routes the way one could in
Yahoo Maps.
But this is quite cool: you use its smartphone app or a GPS, and it
maps your route, which you can post, share, etc.

Strava is tied to GPS recording, and seems a little too oriented to
look how fast I did this climb for my taste. The home page says
Track your progress and compete against friends. Not really the
attitude I expect prevails around this list. I don't need to share my
watt output with the world to
I have something called 511 bike mapper in my links list:

I've used it to find rides but never set them up.

hi all,
Sorry if this has been discussed already- is there a place where

I used Bikely a few years ago, but now I've mostly plotted things out
in Google Maps, usually after the ride. My MO is to set out, get lost,
get found, and have a good time.
I just tagged a Google map I made yesterday (in 97128 zip) as
Rivendell friendly, but I can't see how to search public
I too am on the hunt for new places to ride but I've found more locally
oriented sources to be the most helpful. This list is too geographically
spread out. I'd suggest you get a local map and dive into google. I've
found lots of great ride reports and useful info this way. Now all I gotta
do
