I don't think you can see that until you save it.
Personally I find mapmyride annoying. I use the Strava route builder, which has the nice feature that if you're creating a route in an area you're not familiar with, it will prefer roads that are more popular with cyclists -- in other words, it will make a fun route and keep you off of high speed no shoulder crappy roads. It's almost worth making a garbage Strava account just for that feature, you don't have to actually upload any rides if you hate Strava.
