sore thumb wrote:Just did a route with the planner. For a commute of around 17 miles into birmingham.
I was looking at roads that are not too busy with traffic but provide a reasonable fast route for a cyclist as I average around 18 mph.
However the planner comes up with cycle paths and canal paths and my route has gone up from 17 miles to 20 miles. And a time from 2hrs 30mins when I could really do it in around an hour I think.
Is there anyway to put in my average speed so the planner removes slow routes but keep me off the 'main busy road sections' ?
Thoughts?
Have you tried Cyclestreets? It gives you a choice of three routes - fast, medium and slow. Not that I want to detract from Richard's work, which I find very useful, but sometimes it is good to have alternatives.
