Board for rides/routes?

[adza]

Hi all. Im a fairly small contributer to the forum so far but Ive got a suggestion nonetheless.

I posted a link to motowhere.com in the rides section as its a good source of actual routes and lots of them. it uses google earth and stuff...

anyway, im wondering if there is scope for having a sub board where people can post up rides/routes for others to find out about and venture out and have a crack at either by themselves after work or a couple mates or whatever?

not sure how it would actually work, maybe a description such as left at ... then right at ... this section has great twisties for 2km then left ... and so on followed by a link to google maps or something. i dunno, just throwing ideas out there.

any takers or suggestions?

Why not just put it in the Rides section?

Yep, top idea. If the Rides section was broken up geographically, it would be easier for members to find new rides in their area. I made up some google maps in a thread I posted after getting some suggestions from other riders.

How about a sub-board under the Rides section for them? That would keep them separate, and easy to locate without splitting up the rides section by state. Anyone inclined to post them up could do so, and they would not get lost after a few pages.

The new sub board has been created.........I have avoided the whole separate State thing so make sure you post up what state the ride is in.........
Please make the most of this board i believe it could be one of the sites favorites as long as it's done correctly!

i love the idea of this board but due to my overwhelming awesomeness on a computer i have absolutely no idea how to post a pic, let alone a map of my fave ride, if there is a book on how to post ride maps for dumbass' can someone please send me the link!

You will need to have the map/pic's hosted on something like www.photobucket.com then link them to the post.
