Do any of you refer to Mile By Mile when you are planning your touring, or even local routes? I created a set of routes for a Super Randonneur series in central Alberta this past winter, and used Mile By Mile as one of my references. I've also used it when I am curious about other local roads/routes.

Yes, I know the site is designed for RVs and leaves out lots of information like shoulder width and terrain, but it includes quite a bit of information that cycletourists could use, like camping info, the availability of toilets along the way, tourist stuff, and best of all, occasional photos of the routes.

Interesting link.
I checked some local stuff & they name some "towns" that aren't really towns. They are old nicknames for areas, or there might be a school around with the name, but no town. One "town" is only a creek with a road named after it! It's also abit deceiving about what is off an exit, they sometimes are listing stuff 30+ miles away.
It does seem like a good starting spot to look for an area that one might be researching to ride in.
