The bike that keeps on surprising

You lay a direct route from A to B then you click and drag the blue line to the actual roads you're on. Sometimes I add 2 or 3 additional destinations (although those are often just intersections, not stopping points) so that the Google route more closely resembles my planned (or actual) route.

An Example: I am riding to Wisconsin and back. I ask Google to give me directions to my northernmost destination. Then I add a second destination someplace along the return route (I do this to avoid having Google give me the same out and back route). Then I add home as the final destination. From there, I can drag either the "out" route line or the "back" outline to lay over the roads I actually will travel on. You may have to drag several of these points to get the route laid out correctly and there is a limit to how many points you can lay down. What I'm left with in this example is a blue loop which I can then snip and post here for all the world to see. (which is why I don't use my exact address)
