Well done you have create some GPS tracks(sometimes confusingly called
traces) and uploaded them to the OSM server.
Now what you need to do is effectivly trace the tracks.

Read section 3 of the beginners guide here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide

Using Potlatch(online editor) or JOSM(a program to install) you add the
lines(ways) and dots(nodes) of the map but also saying what those lines are
or what is next to them.
Hopefully you have collected some extra notes (written/drawn, photographs,
or audio) that say the names of roads, the type of road
(primary/unclassified/residential/service/etc.) or if the road is actually a
footpath/track/etc. and landmarks such as pubs and schools that can be dots
next to the road.
Anyway, the page I linked to above should tell you everything you need to
know.
