I think there are a lot of synergy in creating a database of DMF favorite roads so that when we travel, we know where the twisties are! 

I use the Mapsource program which exports in .gdb  and am happy to be updater of this database.  I am also happy to contribute all my NY/NJ roads to kick it off.  If you think it is a good idea, email me your .gdb and I will add it to the database and email you back with the updated one.

As Legend: I use red pushpins for twisties, blue pushpins for sweepers, and green pushpins for scenic.  I also use an "X" pushpin for untested roads to try-out for the future.

If you do this, it should be restricted to site members.  you don't want to put your favorite secret roads on the internet!

You also don't want LEO to know your favorite or frequented routes.

Makes sense to me.

What do you people think about a "Ride Reports" board to post good trip reports and routes?

I am thinking like advrider.com does.

A friend sent me this link to bike roads in all states - not too bad.  Check it out

Sounds like a great idea!

You guys seen http://www.sundaymorningrides.com/ ?

Maybe use what they've got there, possibly with discussion threads here(maybe in a new dedicated board like Mitt suggested)?

And each of the three rides listed in my state are on different islands...
