Hi Steve, Pretty much all you want is taken care of by these excellent projects: http://www.öpnvkarte.de/ (that's Alt-Gr+[, then o, on my keyboard :-) ) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Colin_Marquardt/Hike_%26_Bike_Map http://www.openpistemap.org The second one is a biking map that's fully open source, so that would be a good place to start.
