Here you can download GPS tracks especially for MTB. Most of them are from races and some rides I discovered myself. Recently I've started to create maps of the ski resorts that I'm visiting, including ski tracks, lifts and waypoints.
Two very good software to transfer GPX or .IMG (you've downloaded) direct to your device are easygps.com and mapupload (or if you have a garmin you can use mapsource) so you can use it without an internet connection.
Another way is by using these links
http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/
http://www.takitwithme.com/
you can convert and transfer them to your GPS device (first you open at http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ the archive you've downloaded and convert it to GPX, then use http://www.takitwithme.com/ to transfer the track to your device).
Also by pressing the name of the ride or ski resorts map you can see some photos, videos or description.
I use a Garmin GPSmap 60cx (manual) with European map, Greek mountaineering map from Anavasi and Topo Navigator and nautical Blue Chart map of Eastern Mediterranean.

HOW TO USE MAPS
You can use Gpx to edit or transfer the map, with easygps. Gmapsupp is the devices format. Just copy and past it in the Garmin folder of your devices memory card. Don't forget to make a backup of the existing file because it will be overwritten. You can also use (and this is the best way) MAPupload software to transfer or combine maps and Gpx.
Mapsource is a file format to open the map with your Mapsource software coming with the Garmin device.
For adding .img map files to mapsource press HERE.
And HERE for creating a Garmin map using a Gpx file.
Gpamsupp and Mapsource are only for Garmin devices.
This post will be updating so stay tuned and enjoy the rides
