hi folks, wondered whether what the consensus is for software for route planning......ie/ what do most people use or don't you use anything for planning 'fun' routes ( as opposed to journeys ).

For the past few years i've been using TYRE and am thinking about making many of the routes that i've done for kent, sussex,hants available for download ( free) ......but wondering in reality whether folks outside our own club will want to or will make use of them......as it obviously involves a degree of work uploading them in the 1st place.

so....would this potentially be of use to you guys? the routes tend to start between maidstone across to edenbridge and then vary from return journeys to a simple 1 way to a cafe run....between 50-100 miles.

Mark, just my 2p but I personally wouldn't make routes publicly available...share with trusted individuals yes, but in my experience discretion is valuable.

Plenty - that was always in my mind and its why have never done this before, however in reality all the roads are there, there are no secret bits of tarmac......the thing with going on a drive/run/blat is making the time AND the route public. This would just be a taster of some of teh routes that i like.....

Nothing secret, but the drawbacks of making them readily available outweigh the benefits (IMO).
