Bikehike - saving a route

[Tim Hall]

Although I don't have a GPS, I thought I'd use bikehike to plan a ride, inspired partly by Wowbagger's posting of the route used for the Christmas Warty here.

So I clicked away and produced a route. But I can't see how to save it. I see from the history page that the person running the site has closed the route database. Is this why? If so, how did Wow manage to save his route?

I've downloaded the route as a .gpx so I have a record, but it's not quite what I want.

Bikehike no longer has a route database.

If you've got some web space somewhere, you can put the .gpx file there then give other people a bikehike link that points to the GPX, e.g.:

              http://www.bikehike.co.uk/mapview.php?lnk=http://www.derkholm.net/thomas/Anfractuous.gpx

Or save it as a .gps / .tcx (or similar) to your desktop, and then subsequently use Bikehike to re-open it.
Works for me. No?

Or as an alternative to the above, use bike route toaster.

(Although bikehike is better, in letting you see graphically the amount of climbing and gradient.)

I have some webspace dedicated for routes and if you look at the address bar you can see where.
