I use RideWithGPS to draw my routes. It has by far the easiest interface for route making that I have used. Sometimes I can zoom in on the satellite image enough to determine if a road is paved, but that can be iffy when there are lots of trees around. If I'm not sure about a local route, I'll ride it on the monstercross bike first. It doesn't care if the road is paved or not.
