Changeset: 53897883
My intention is to delete the cycle route: Muir of Ord to North Kessock via Blairdhu. I don't believe it is a cycle route - it just appears to be a road and muddy path along which someone has mountain biked. It subsequently gets used by routing software.

Comment from rnewmark
I've only deleted one small section I see. I will delete the rest of the route at a later time, assuming no-one objects (I'm just new to this editing!)

HI Mark, welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for preceding with caution. I've had a look at this. Doing a google for this showed up: http://www.transitionblackisle.org/userfiles/file/million%20miles/community_cycle_links/150305-ccl-route-10.pdf
So I think this *is* an official cycle route. My feeling would be to make sure that the surface of the various parts of the route are properly recorded, and hopefully that will make the routers less likely to send you down it?

Thanks Chris. I tend to consider official cycle routes as something with signs, and proper cycle paths - not as a communities aspiration that a footpath becomes a route for bicycles (otherwise every footpath might be regarded as a cycle route!).
But I'll do exactly as you suggest and change the surface, and hope the routing software is clever enough not to use it (although I suspect https://www.cyclestreets.net isn't that clever and will just see 'cycle route - must use it'). Regards, Richard -
Comment from Chris Fleming
Sounds like a plan, it looks like cycle.travel avoids this route, but as you say both the balanced and quiet route in cyclestreets use some of these tracks. As well as making sure the surface is correctly tagged, I think it would make sense to remove the lcn from the relation as well.
