Post your GPX tracks here

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Hey all. Great idea from @HKP57 to upload our GPX tracks.

Here’s mine from the weekend.

I’ll edit this with instruction of how to do this embed to the forum later. You can download the GPX file below.

Nice 32 mile loop of Surrey Hills, takes in some of the well known local trails.

To embed your GPX map:

1: Create and upload a GPX to GPSies | Tracks, Strecken, Touren, Routen, Konverter (its easy to download the GPX file from Strava)

2. Grab this embed code from the GPSies map once you've uploaded it:



Put that code inside this embed tag. You ned to manually type the gpsies open and closing embed codes, shown here

[gpsies]Your iFrame embed code goes here [/gpsies]

Once you've done that hit Save to post it, then refresh the page. Your map will be embedded and displayed and other memners can download it to use.

Cheers,
Rob.

Cheers Rob, I embedded the wrong line!

Cheers Rob, I embedded the wrong line!

No probs. It’s a bit of a faff until I work out a better solution!

Yes it's an excellent idea, I'm always looking for new routes to explore.
But we need to create some sort of an index, so members can search on locations mileage etc, otherwise when this thread grows you will just have to scroll through endless pages to find what you want.
Just an idea, but GPSies already have a search system and easy referencing.
Could we somehow have an "EMTB forum" ride category within GPSies and that gets populated with the rides and all you will need from this site is a link?

I added a track group here. Can you upload to it?

It all works, but I can't upload to it, I think only the account creator can add to it.
Don't know if there is a setting so all users can upload to it?
If not this will mean that you will have to manually do it, unless the password is common knowledge to all forum members.
I don't mind helping with this task, if you need to discuss email me on "[email protected]"

HKP57 go on to the GPSies web site and create an account.
Then simply import the GPX file from your Komoot ride into your GPSies account.
This will then present it in a format that other people can see clearly and download if they want to recreate your ride.
The GPSies site is quite a good tool for creating rides for yourself as well ?

For those novices around here is a very easy and pleasant trip around Loch Katrine, travel up the Loch on a 115 year old steam ferry then cycle the 14 miles back. All except a short section of single track its all tarmac so ideal all year round.

This ones a little more challenging with a good climb up a natural trail to Brandy Loch

This was the first long ride i did, but i was a bit keen on turbo and had to cut a couple of bits short.

For anyone near Donegal, Ireland, this is a track of a great ride in and around Glenveagh National Park. Total distance 23.5 miles.
Start and end at the Visitor carpark. Climb out of park and follow trail. Great descent down into park from R254. Trail shared with walkers so take it easy. You can stop off for a cuppa at the castle and don't forget to ride up to the view points.
