Not sure if this has been posted before but search didn't bring anything up:
Livestrong loops is another route mapping website thats out on lance's website, looks quite snazy at first but after a little bit of playing with it I'm already getting annoyed. The mapping software seems to want to pick the most direct route between points which is fine sometimes but doesn't seem to take into account road difference like sites like mapmyride does. e.g. the road through a small town might be the most direct but with things like roundabouts and traffic lights its not as fast or appropriate as the A road that loops slightly round the town. Just annoying me on one road where I on mapmyride I only have to put in one waypoint and it does the whole road but on livestrong it is making me do about 10 guiding it bit by bit down the road!
The site has a few extras, training logs, bmi scales, facebook connectivity. Rather oddly on the BMI scale part you get a choice of putting data in in two formats, not your standard imperial vs metric, rather "English" vs Metric
Anyone else using it?

been playing around a bit more, it's got a food calorie tracker aswell which gives some interesting calorie/carb/protein/fat levels to food. Claims a serving of pasta is 700 cals where as Tesco seem to think its only 350?
Will give it more time before I decided weather to give it up0 -

The lance one is probably referring to an American portion size!
