Sweet! I was just getting ready to map that. Were you able to save that as a track in your GPS or did you have to do it manually?

Witttom, If you haven't already ridden this it might make a good 15 mile (or so) dirt road excursion for your Triumph buddies. No water crossings though. :(

It was manual, you know my GPS isn't that smart.

It was supposed to avoid unpaved roads.
