RideWithGPS question
 
I have been using RideWithGPS for a few years both here and in Europe to plan out routes. But Iwas wondering if there is a way to find a published or already planned route? For example I would like some route suggestions for a trip from Cincinnati to St.Louis. But when I enter this all I get are rides around one or the other cities not a route between the two. Am I missing something or is it not possible to do?
Thanks!

I use RideWithGPS as one place to record my rides. I think what you are seeing is that no one there has ridden the route you are searching for. Maybe you could try searching for legs along the route you want. Suggestion: Cincinnati to Indianapolis, Indianapolis to ??

You might try Garmin Connect.

Go Bearcats!

Ride with GPS is a litte awkward for this. They may have a feature, but I don't know of it. Strava just implemented something that uses popularity of other riders. I haven't mastered it yet, but I think it should help

I just tried it, it's not perfect, but not bad. Go to the route builder, it defaults to popularity over manual, but you can change the sliders to mix between the two

It is VERY poor for this type of planning. You will get lots of loops / day rides when doing a search. I really wish you could classify a route / track to say loop ride or touring route. AND be able to vote on the route. So if some bozo mislabels the route they get negative votes.
