Hide Google Map Maker Data on Maps

I'm wondering if there is anyway to hide or disable user-contributed bike lines/trails to Google Map Maker?

My website has a riding area where there is a bunch of bad/inaccurate map maker data shown when you toggle the map from Google Earth to Google Maps. http://www.trailforks.com/riding_areas/cumberland

The data is visible here on Map maker. http://goo.gl/Ebnq4

My site uses GPS data to map trails, where as this map maker data someone hand drew and we would like to hide it from the google maps we overlay our trail data on when in road view.

You can customize the style of the basemap, but not with perfect granularity. In this case bike trails (and other trails/paths) are classified under Local Roads ... so if you don't mind losing those you can turn them off with a custom style. For example if you pass mapOptions in while instantiating your map, you might do something like:

var mapOptions = {
 styles : [
    {
      featureType: "road.local",
      stylers: [
        { visibility: "off" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
