I've finished an electronic map and ride description for a big loop ride (55 miles or so) in the Canaan Valley of WV. Included on this ride is single track, dirt/gravel roads and pavement. Distribution is via 750K PDF file: 7 pages are verbose text, and 5 pages 8.5"x11" sheets that paste together into a large map.
I'm distributing this map for free. I do not have a website on which to post it, if you have a website and want to post it, or you just want a copy send an email message to Jeff_Lange_99@hotmail.com (Jeff_Lange_99@hotmail.com) with the subject "SEND MAP", and I'll email you a copy ASAP.

For those who don't know, access is becoming, and is an issue in this historic mountain biking area:
1. The US Fish and Wildlife service has plans (and has already expanded) the National Wildlife Refuge and restricted mountain biking in the Wildlife Refuge
2. The Northern Dolly Sods (which is a key portion of this ride) is a potential target for Wilderness expansion. (This would prohibit mountain bikes).
3. This area is a special place for many user groups. Hikers, XC skiers, natural lovers, hunters, mountain bikers, trail runners, paddlers, etc, etc. all congragate in this area. Mountain bikers need to remain one of the permissable user groups.
