"What's It Like Out There?" New 04-18-08 In answer to the question "How's the riding in Spokane?"

IMPORTANT NOTE: The gps files posted below are in Garmin Database "gdb" and also the universal "gpx" format. If you wish to convert them to another format, you can use GPSBabel or go to this web-based converter: GPS Visualizer. I suggest that you convert the "gbd" file since it contains the most detail.

_{TRACK NOTES: The saved GDB tracks are COLOR CODED as follows:}

   _{MAGENTA: Secondary gravel (sometimes paved) main route, logging traffic, occasional cars. Not my preferred road type.}

    _{BLUE: Primitive gravel or dirt road, NO traffic, often overgrown double track, fun, waterbars (jumps), sometimes no easy egress (berm/ blowdown or other obstruction.) (Note: Discontinued color code - only in IEPCO data! Way too confusing with water features and freeways!)}

   _{DARK MAGENTA: Secondary primitive road, NO traffic, often overgrown double track, fun, waterbars (jumps), sometimes no easy egress (berm/ blowdown or other obstruction.) Includes "Summer Roads" in farm country.  (Note: current color code.)}

    _{RED: Dead end, no egress. Posted "No Trespassing" or impassible due to brush.}

    _{CYAN: ATV track or singletrack. Often these are illegal - some are obviously main routes used by the forestry crews. Feel free to responsibly use existing trails - do  NOT blaze new ones. THIS IS A GRAY AREA WITH IEPCO - PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE!}

    _{GREEN:  Side route to scenic overlook, may be dead end or loop.}

    _{DARK YELLOW: Old Railroad bed, motorized traffic OK (not a bicycle trail)}

   _{DARK GREEN: Main paved secondary highway - Note that I don't normally mark these unless they are important connector routes.}
