This seems like an interesting project. I didn't think using the routes plugin would work at first but looking again, that actually seems like a neat way of doing it. I was envisioning having to export to a georeferenced image file and loading it into JOSM as an imagery layer. However I don't think gpsbabel is the right tool to convert the shapefile. From what I can see, gpsbabel just creates tagless ways. You can hard-code tags to add but I don't see any options to pull attributes out of the shapefile and put them into tags. I think you will need to use shp2osm or ogr2osm or something like that. <5 minutes later...> In fact, it had been too long since I fired up ArcMap so I played around with the file a bit and ended up reprojecting it to WGS84 and running it through ogr2osm. It put extra spaces in the tag values and all the keys are upper case but other than that it seems like a usable file. I can get it to you if you want.
