Just came across this nifty new mapping tool. It’s an extension of Google Maps and I think it’s a great way to share bike routes.
You can “record” your custom route and it will tell you the mileage. The best part is that you can have it generate a permalink so you can then share the route with your friends.
As an example, here’s the route from my house to the Jamison fountain.
Have fun mapping your favorite routes!
