These maps show the routes of the various journeys described in the category RIDES . The link should take you to gmaps pedometer, a very handy site that allows you to record your route (‘straight lines’ or ‘manual’ is best, I find, as my routes often take me by little hidden paths which the automatic calculator can’t handle). If you view the maps in ‘satellite’ it gives a good notion of the country side, while ‘terrain’ gives a better sense of the geography. You can also call up a profile of the route.
