Helpful, yes. This is why setting it up in Google is a bit more complicated -- I have to put the "destinations" (lettered points) in each map and with so many changes of roads needed to get a good route, it's time consuming and you can run out of points. misterprofessionality had this down to a pretty solid science, but I'm not as good at. We'll get it set up though. Thanks for the feedback. Does this mean you're coming to the Rally?

When in your shoes in the past, I've also tried to find a shortened "bail-out" loop where a rider could decide for themselves real time if they're feeling tired and would like break off to take the alternate route home.
Tri-State and Pie is the longest full route. It's worth it because...pie. It also gets us riding into Illinois and Iowa AND includes a boat ride across the Mississippi River. I'll have more routes than we can do in a week with a number of short (less than 100 miles) routes for people as alternatives to the two longer days I have. I like your "bail-out" loop idea and will try to include some in my planning.
The other long day will take us to the two twistiest roads in the area. I believe that it is still less than 200 miles and maybe closer to 150. I'll post that when I have the final plot.
