Trail Tracks

What are Trail Tracks?  When several of our BATRC members are out on the trail riding, they use their GPS to track their ride and take photos.  These photos and tracks are converted to a slideshow/video with a map so that members can see what the trail was like. They use the EVERY TRAIL application to create the “Trail Track.”  Click on the link below to open up Trail Tracks, and then select the track you want to look at.  REMEMBER, you
must be a member and logged in before you can see these.  Have fun viewing the Trail Tracks!
