I'll go register at rydezilla and check it out. I still think the page guests get when they click on a ride could do a better job of explaining why you don't get what you expect. Something like what Trails.com does (a tiny synopsis of the trail and a big-ass message that says sign-up for all the juicy details). Ok, Joe… you win. I’ll go register at rydezilla and check it out.

Rydezilla looks similar in to Geoladders in some respects. Just a couple notes though. It's much more graphic-heavy, with a MTB/grunge look that makes page load times a bit slower (my unscientific, shoot-from-the-hip analysis). Also, I clicked on some of the trails but it kept taking me to an "about" page. I'm thinking I don't get to see the trail detail without registering maybe? Grrrr.... :( Thanks for the tip, Joe.
