heres a point A to point B Google Map. I did create a route using mapmyride that i think may be the way I am going to try. Cheers

try that, I got it so that you're on mostly smaller streets and tried to look around for ones with a shoulder

drive it first - it may seem a lot longer by car but remember that it is exactly the same distance only by means of streets that have lower speed limits which should allow you to actually go faster on a bike (since you generally have less traffic volume and you're a little more free to do as you wish)
