openrouteservice.org gets my vote too.

I did a test to check Bikeroll and unfortunately it is approximate: from Udine (Italy) to Gibraltar would send me into the sea!
Usually I use Bikemap (http://cycle.travel/map) and Cycle route planner
(http://cycle.travel/map): the first one because I can schedule the stops and the second because I see the elevation profile.
Thanks anyway for your advice!
Bonny

I just tested 6 websites (to plot a planned 2000 km tour through Europe) and easily the best was Openrouteservice.org/directions. Cheers

It will be a bit hit and miss depending on the region and the data they have for it. The Cycle.Travel website looks awesome! I’ll have to try it next time I’m in the UK or USA.

For a ride I often do, about 25 miles, both the ‘MTB’ and ‘Google’ routes use off-road tracks; the ‘Road’ options assumes you’re in a car and takes you on the biggest fastest roads. So no suitable route for most road cyclists. For Europe I recommend cycle.travel, which also now appears to cover USA although I can’t vouch for the quality of its routes choices there.
