Re:

ok, serious question...

what websites do people use to plan bike rides/routes?

I'm wanting to either plan a road route or download an existing route in tcx format.

I used to use Bikeroutetoaster but that site no longer seems to work?
I've looked at RidewithGPS but to download anything I have to pay membership, are there any similar sites that are free to use?

Just make a route using Bing maps. Bing maps use ordinance survey maps so are pretty good.
Just make your own routes no need for all this reliance on GPS stuff. Don't get me wrong sometimes its useful for my audax stuff and their routes are always downloadable to the computer so can print it out.
That's my old man ramble over with.........I don't belieeeve it!

Jim - http://bikehike.co.uk/index.php might be worth a look. Last time I used it was a few years ago - it worked pretty well then.

It seems my only January weekend free is the Puffer one and indeed much of February.
