This morning I’d originally planned on going for a ride in the currently-active snowstorm, but I started working on a project that I’d wanted to complete for a while, and this evening I completed it: a CRAMBA-IMBA<\/a> map of Bald Mountain Recreation Area<\/a> – North Unit. Home to some gently rolling, old-style trails built with cross country skiing in mind it’s not very challenging, but this is one of my favorite mountain bike trails in the area.<\/p>\n

Over the last few slow speed wintertime rides there I’d collected the GPS data I was lacking, put it into OpenStreetMap<\/a>\u00a0today, cleaned up the existing data, and followed my mapping workflow<\/a> to create this map. It has a fair bit more detail than the official park map<\/a>, showing some of the unofficial but well used connector trails, colloquial names for some areas, and a bit more context. It’s what I personally would want for a mountain bike centric map of the trail.<\/p>\n

So, what to map next… I’d like to do a CRAMBA-IMBA map of Pontiac Lake Recreation Area<\/a>, but I’ll need to spend more time riding and exploring there before that’s feasible. I’m familiar with the trails, but not familiar enough with the park to do a proper map. I also want to update the Bloomer Park<\/a> map to get something that better matches the style of the other maps. But, for now, I’m glad that this got done. I feel like I’ve accomplished something.<\/p>\n

One can see this map overlaid on Google Maps, along everything else in the MMBA Trail Guide<\/a> here: link<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
