You could do this using GpsBabel: http://www.gpsbabel.org/
Its available for Mac, Windows or Linux, with a few different GUIs or a 
command line version.
Set the input and output formats to GPX, and use the "nuketypes" filter: 
http://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-1.3.6/filter_nuketypes.html
In the Windows GUI this is on the "Options" menu.

Or from the command line, use something like this:
gpsbabel -t -i gpx -f in.gpx -x nuketypes,waypoints,routes -o gpx -F out.gpx
