I really like this site for the info and variety of trails they have. StayTheTrail did not have as much and others where not even as good as the old pre-GPS jeep books I got.
This one seems pretty good for bigger bikes (650+) due to the volume of info. I highly recommend staying in the 1-2-3 rating for 'large-bike ok-skills types'. That said Ophir is a 2-3 and even Troy has said it was bit 'interesting' and narrow. Hurricane Pass is rated a 3 and I thought it was a tough way up (but up sure beats down on head sized rocks with a steep deadly drop). Don't just go by the ratings. I also skipped any with deep crossings or mud. Enough of that this year.
I was looking for gpx files for the Front Range and this site appears to be the best. I did change all of the trails to put the start/end of the waypoints and tracks out on the highways so I can hop from one to the next without having to operate the gps much while driving on the highways between Estes and Idaho Springs.
Hope you find this useful.
