50/20 Inspiration

In May 2012 I'm venturing to do a 50/20 hike with the Boy Scouts. This means 50 miles of hiking over 20 hours. It's a daunting task - and after thinking about it its really like burning as many calories as you burn in 2 marathons.

BUT, the hardest thing about the hike so far is the fact that I can't find flipin sweet trails anywhere. It should be so easy to find .kml or gpx files for different hikes since everyone is logging them on their smart phones anyway, right? Nope. Everything I find is a grainy trail map from the 1960's or some trail on pavement.

So here's my plan - road rides are easy enough to find since the invention of Map My Ride, and google maps, but i plan to map all the mountain bike, hike and trails that i use near Sacramento on the American River Trail, Folsom Lake SRA, Auburn SRA and others (there are TONS of them). Feel free to contribute .kml or .gpx files, and check back here for recent trails for your local hike, run or ride.
