Not necessary.

Just click on the "Submit Rides" button in the upper left-hand corner, then click the waypoints for your route. When you're done, click the "Plot your route then click here" button and add the description and details.

So easy, a painter could do it!

Well I'm the unemployed Geographical Tech Geek, I could make some cool ride maps for us.  Just need to know what the routes are, since I have no clue, and the only riding my Duc has seen here has been from back of moving van to garage!!!  BTW, are there even any good roads to ride in ME????  From what I've seen, I'm better off swappin out my suspension with that of a dirt bike!!!  These roads blow, and the only ones I've seen that dont only go straight!!!!

You'll learn to stand on the pegs on some of the roads around here. ;)

You'll also learn getting your suspension dialed isn't an option, it's crucial.  THEN, the roads are fun.   [thumbsup]

part of the excitement is seeing which roads are no longer safe/fun to ride after a winter of frost heaves...

Although I'm reviving a somewhat old thread...would you use some sort of GIS software for that?  A friend of mine uses ArcGIS (I think), and he has a whole bunch of map files that he can import.  What I would like to do is just keep track of the roads that I've ridden on in a season for my own personal interest.  Can you recommend anything in particular, and do you happen to know where can I find the road data?
