Thanks for linking the GPED map. I was going to make one of those for my co-workers (I work in Mesa) and you just saved me half an hour!

Thanks!

Rachel,
Great stuff. I'm a local trail runner, have seen your posts on Jameson's blog now and then. I live in Point Loma so the access to trails is week. I'll be checking-out some of these N.County runs.

Do you know where the so-called "Ranch" run is? I think that's Rancho Santa Fe, it's about 11.5 loop and a bunch of the tri club folks do it regularly.

Cheers.
