Any chance of getting "dirt/gravel road" as an option when creating routes? A few of my routes, and my next race, are on dirt/gravel road, and it's my favorite running surface. "Trail" doesn't really fit either.

Yes - I could really use Trail and Gravel! Bill Smile

Another vote for "dirt/gravel road"

I created 'Trail' as a workout type. Even gave it it's own pretty color for the graph.

Thanks for the idea, but I sometimes do different workout types on gravel or trails. Smile

To me, trail means singletrack hiking trail. Completely different from dirt road. Plus, this thread pertained to creating courses, where you are limited to asphalt, concrete, grass, trail, track, or treadmill. I think dirt road deserves its own category.
