Click on the Edit hyperlink on the page presented. Click on the TRACK button on the page presented. Click on the red track in the editing window. Click on the padlock icon to unlock the way. You GPX trace is now part of the OSM database. You can and should of course add tags to describe the way. You should try and capture your GPX data in as high a resolution as possible. (1 point per second) This gives the best description of the roads you are trying to capture. The GPX import process will remove points that are not needed (like ones in the middle of a long straight stretch or road). It is easier to capture too much data, and remove some of it later than it is to capture too little data, and add it in later. I know it's not JOSM, but it will get newbies working rather quickly.
