The Dirt Road Database is going to be moving to a dedicated URL soon: dirtdata.org

There will be a blog component, and a user updatable wiki as well.  I am figuring out the lay out, but if anyone has ideas regarding content, tutorials, links, ect, let me know via the comments and I will take them under consideration.   This a collaborative project, even if there is just a few people at the helm so to speak, you all can steer the ship.  I’ll post the wiki and blog address as soon as there is some content up.

The Frederick map has been viewed over 1,200 times now, and has over 100 notations.  Pretty good for a project that just started last week.  Lets keep trucking.  Er, Mapping.  I am working on a Mass. Map, dozens of roads up there to get down.  I’ll post it soon.

if you have a website, or a blog, that is interested in getting the dirt road database word out, here is a banner ad to use. there is no money being made off of this, so its like a non profit ad, or something. the database is going strong in the frederick area, but word needs to spread. if you belong to any cycling forums, please post an announcement whereever it is appropriate. if you have a blog, make an entry about it, with a link. this is all assuming you actually think this is a good idea, which, if you have read this far, you already probaly do. here’s the banner ad. you get to make it into a link somehow. click to resize.

the frederick area map is going strong. however: when adding roads, please note their names. ‘line 81′ isn’t too informative.  the good news: the frederick map has over 84 notations on it, so its trucking along.

fxdwhl, over at ‘lockring not included’ has provided us with this map of the reading PA area.

thanks, dude.
