GPX Files - Miscellaneous - 8/20/20 version
The gpx files shown below are unfiltered. Different GPS receivers have differing file length requirements, so I leave the filtering up to those who need it. The files are actual ridden tracks (with a few hand drawn road sections that I will eventually ride). There is usually no elevation info.

RBT.gpx and RBTaccess.gpx - these files are a pair. RBT.gpx is the Rainbow Trail and RBTaccess.gpx has the routes to the access points along the trail. You can pick a start and end point to suit your time constraints and/or riding ability. Local Salidans like to start at Methodist Mtn and end at Bear Creek for a nice after-work ride.
