Hello all. Picking up my bike early next week so preparing everything so I'm ready to go.

I have strava, cycle meter and view ranger downloaded. Never used any of them before.

What I want to know is it possible to search on them for local routes that people have found?

I have read there is a decent route in the leamington spa area, route 41 I think it's called but no idea where it is. I'm hoping an app will show me where and navigate around it.

If someone can guide me through this hat would be great.

Dan

    Route 41 is a national cycle network route. Just look on an OS map.

    Yes, the Segment Explorer in Strava will show you segments/routes that other riders use. I also use bikemap.net - the Open Cycle Maps (select it from the drop down map options top right) are brilliant, very accurate and free :)

    Look at other riders straps rides locally which are off road, os maps and google map satellite view to see what type of track it is.
