Did you guys know about this route-sharing website (http://www.openroadjourney.com/) (OpenRoadJourney.com)? I found a second one (http://www.sundaymorningrides.com/) (SundayMorningRides.com).
- It is free
- Has a great interface (linked to maps.google.com)
- Has search functionality and review capabilities by other users
- It is free
- You can share rides with others
- You can easily refer to your uploaded ride with a quick web link (each upload has a unique number, like this ride in the Catskills is 631 (http://www.openroadjourney.com/loadroute.asp?rid=631), just look at the URL)
and.......
It is free!

I thought this could be a good way for us to share rides among each other, but at the same time have them available to whomever else thinks it looks interesting.

If you know of a better website than this, with more rides to download for example, please let me know.

I tried to upload routes using the point and click tool and found it has very limited room for waypoint memory files. I tried a 75+ mile route and that file was too big. I shortened it to 50 miles - still too long. I did one less than 30 miles long - still too long. Since my GPS does not store tracks I cannot use that method so I cannot upload routes worth riding in my area.
