Bikely route planner

From a link on the Road cycling forum, I found a useful tool based on Google maps. I've put in my commute route to work. I haven't put in my homeward bound leg yet (route varies slightly), but here's the inbound trip:

Try routeslip.com , too. Now... if these sites would buy each other out, and combine the tools, we'd have just one AWESOME site.

Unless routeslip recently improved, Bikeley works better.

This does look like a great site, but it wouldn't get past the "saving your route" screen - is anyone else having trouble with it?

I had some issues with it this weekend, mainly relating to elevation and out and back routes.

Here's my elevation profile for the one-way trip to work.....I've got some decent altitude changes, but you Denver guys start off a LOT higher up than I do.....I'm practically wading in the Chesapeake Bay compared to you.....

I lived in Hampton for a while... elevation approx. 10 feet. I miss it!
