That's all great to hear.

I feel like I don't really understand the grand plan for how relations
like this are supposed to work, but a relation with 1200 members sounds
really difficult to deal with.  I have the impression that there is a
reasonably common practice of having relations for segments and then
another relation that all the relations belong to.

I am somewhat familiar with the small part of it in North Acton.   I
found hikebikemap.org but it doesn't seem to show up.

I do remember hikebikemap showing hiking and cycle routes earlier.

The hikebikemap tiles are really old.  (Trails I added in december are
not there.)
