From Downtown Huntsville, I went down Meridian, then down Winchester, crossed down Colemont, Then Chase road, then right on Moore's Mill to Jordan Road to the weird intersection where I turn right to stay on Jordan road until I turn left on Ryland Pike,Then Right onto Dug Hill Road to turn right onto Highway 431, which became Governor's drive, then Right on Franklin right back to downtown Huntsville. It took me from 11:00 till 17:30. I had a 30 minute lunch, and stopped for about 20 minutes later that day. 5 hours and 20 minutes on a Raleigh Venture with slicks, loaded down with my regular gear, up and down some difficult hills. This bike is great for almost everything but going fast. But I'm not a speed demon, and I enjoy driving my bike. The biggest problem I had was that my sweat headband was saturated at the Dug Hill Road and 431 point, and I was producing so much sweat after that hill climb it kept getting in my eyes. Next time I take a bike drive longer than 25 miles at once I'm bringing aspare sweatband.

An unintended consequence of my adding data to the great OpenCycleMap:

http://www.opencyclemap.org/

and the I just today discovered public transportation map:

http://latlon.org/pt

is that I've been GPS tracking sidewalks, pedestrian routes.

Is there something similar for pedestrian routes as the OpenCycleMap and the latlon.ort/pt map?

And if there isn't, where do I start in finding out where to start learning how to create one? (I don't really want to do it, just really, really hoping someone else has).

Thanks for any help!

Added a bunch of pedestrian routes, benches, and see title to this entry.

Uploaded the Huntsville Mayor's Ride 2010.

Tried to add a missing roundabout and a street but got so confused I gave up.

Added some GPS bicycle traces of my route as I biked around in Huntsville, Alabama

I've used my Motorola Droid's GPS and the app OSMTrack to log down all my cycle tracks in Huntsville, Alabama. OSMTrack is great as it logs down as my bicycle on a cycleway. This, while great, wasn't exactly what I thought it was.

As a newbie (really only active since March, though I've had an account longer), I made the mistake of thinking that the "Convert GPS Tracks to Ways" meant that it would lay down the route on the road I was cycling on. I tried to understand relations and it really wasn't until, well, today that I *finally* got it. It was really hard to wrap my head around.

Which made me realize that a lot of the cycle tracks I'd converted to ways aren't cycleways, just the bicycle road route I have cycled on. In some cases this is fine, as in the Indian Creek and Wade Mountain and Aldridge Creek greenways. But it makes it look like there are cycleways when where I was bicycling was legally on the road using the bike route. And I bicycle on a lot of roads that aren't on the normal bike routes as a full time bicycle commuter.

I've been able to separate and delete points, but not tracks. But I don't really wasn't to delete the tracks, I would like to converts the erroneous cycleways back to GPS tracks.

Is there a simple way to do this? I don't want to do my work all over, but I do want to make sure the bicycle information I have provided is accurate.

At least I know all my Bike Park, Bike Rack information is correct, and some information that apparently on the data I put on OSM show up on the Open CycleMap correctly.

Thanks for anyone's help!

Added a lot of benches and the pedestrian walkways for Big Spring Park in Huntsville, AL

Corrected some of Bike Route 64 and added the 14th street bike route in Huntsville, AL.

Added the rest of Bike Route 55 and the Wade Mountain Greenway

Added a sidewalk path and the zebra crossings

Went for a long bike ride all over town yesterday, mostly the North side.

I know that Nashville, TN now has some great bike routes, but noticed none have hit the OpenStreetMap yet. If you're in Nashville, riding those routes, help this great project. I may go up there someday and ride them myself.

Added bike route 45, a pedestrian bridge over a busy street and a small bit of sidewalk at UAH.

Also added a bus route, but under bike for the 2 bikes the buses can carry on their fronts now. Didn't really see a bus route option, though I saw all the bus stop options.

finally "got" how to cut at points, but don't know how to remove accidental routes after a turn for a bicycle.

Traced my gps routes from my gpx file from my motorola droid. Not quite right where I was, but close enough.

I gzipped the ones with photos. still hadn't quite figured out the "load photo" option in potlatch.

Amazing how much has changed in just 5 years from the yahoo 2005 aerial map. Buildings are all over where there was nothing but trees before.

Uploaded a couple of bicycle route traces then tries the gzip option to upload a bunch a t once, wondering if that'll work or not. And if it will load the stopping places and photos or if I'll have tot do that manually.

Also added fast food and pharmacies.

Added the Aldridge Creek part of Bike route 69 for Hutnsville, Alabama. Once again having a hard time "cutting" the routes.
