[Talk-us-massachusetts] Bay Circuit Trail Superroute

[Alan Bragg]

I agree with Greg completely. OSM suggests a route be smaller than 300
segments. The route I'm creating is a *superroute* consisting of one route
for each of the sections at https://www.baycircuit.org/maps-guides/
This is my first super route wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:superroute
