website for plotting routes

scoi

I'm about to move where i will be about 12 miles from my office. I'm looking for a website which i could plot a route using towpaths and routes suitable for bikes so i dont have to use the busy A roads. Google maps are very much restricted to roads. Any ideas of a good site where i can plot a route so i dont get stuck at a farm after a 2 mile climb?

http://www.BikeHike.co.uk is great! go to "course creator" should be what you need.

We just have to hope BikeHike's database stays active as there was talk recently of it closing although I think the rest of the site will stay live.

They are being limited to not publishing routes. So you can't save the route anymore for others to see, you have to download it to your PC, then email the file to who ever you want to send it to.
