west Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Hi all! Does anyone happen to have the GPX file for the SATN North ride here: https://www.trailforks.com/route/satn-social-north-10-26-19-event/ In order to download it now (new rule on trailforks?) I have to get a ~$36 / year subscription, which seems overkill as it's just that one ride I want to get the GPX file for... Thanks in advance!

The Tip Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I don't know about GPX but maybe you can get something from this: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?hl=en&mid=1uW17XVqKni7OhNBs-iZfFjq84wvng9H9&ll=30.19231555044796%2C-97.87136449999997&z=13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Anyone that has done that can export it from strava if they have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAF Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 We really ought to have a files section here where we could post handy things like local routes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 Thanks everyone. I didn't have any luck being able to do anything with that Google link (I tried a bunch of different things with it), but I was able to recreate a lot of the route in alltrails just by looking at the map they have and following the lines. It was one helluva a nice day for riding! On hosting GPX files and other map files, I have a server we could put this on, but honestly I do think it'd make a lot more sense to put it on one of the Austin Mountain Bike websites. The files aren't that big if done right. The recreated SATN north map I made using alltrails was just ~150KB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack_turtle Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) all three routes GPX files are here. scroll down a bit. there are some new trails in that area that might make for some interesting alternatives.

It will be a little work, but yes, the next SATN Social will probably change up the routes to take advantage of all the new trail. It keeps getting better a better. I'm pretty sure we've got over 110 miles now. The new Dirtway 45 is just under two miles. Edited March 29, 2021 by The Tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode that on the gravel bike the other day, then crossed Bear Creek on foot and rode back up the hill to the paved bike path to 1626. any idea what the plan for that trail is? a second, parallel trail going back? or should we turn around under the bridge at the creek and take the paved route back?

Tree Magnet Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 The new Dirtway 45 is just under two miles.Two miles and no more than 20 feet of straight trail! The variety is the SATN system is awesome. I like riding the trail inside 45 but I almost get motion sickness if I hit the entire thing.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is probably what the builder was thinking, to ride dirt to Bear Creek then turn around and ride the sidewalk back to the 45/Mopac intersection. But if enough people ride Dirtway 45, then the single track would probably be extended to Bliss Spillar. I've seen a couple of Strava rides where they just came from Bliss Spillar, crossed at Bear Creek, and continued north on the single track. So there is already new routing possibilities. There isn't enough room between the fence and the highway for a parallel trail. I've also seen on Strava that there is a lot of just doing an out and back on it. I give my blessing to this, overriding my "don't repeat trail" mantra! 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
