This is embarrassing...

I think I could work it out on a simple linear, but looking at the Burnside Loop has been completely flummoxed. From what I can see the route goes up some trails a few times, but I'm 'cked if I can work out how to know which way to go which time.

Are you attempting to follow it on your phone in the Trailforks app? Or have you loaded a TD route onto a Garmin??

And if you're following a route which uses the same trail, does it actually matter which order the loops are done in??

Yes, because I assume the route is plotted to link the segments together in the best way with least fireroad height loss, least distance etc

Also, it's not always loops, although it touches at myriad points it is still sequential..

I've not worked out how to plan a ride in Trailforks...when I last looked it seemed to want me to select the segments I wanted to ride, but then didn't join them all up to a single route to follow.
I'm sure I'm not doing something obvious but can't work it out.
