Where the routes come from

Where a road has an official tourist route, such as the North Coast 500, the Snow Roads or the Transfăgărășan, we use the official line as mapped by OpenStreetMap contributors and say so on the route page. Everything else we plot ourselves on OpenStreetMap roads, and where an official line exists we show how closely ours follows it. We do not copy other sites' GPX files.

We have not ridden every route ourselves yet, and each page says which kind it is. Places to see along the way come from Wikidata, with photos from Wikimedia Commons credited to the people who took them.

Roads close, surfaces change and passes shut for snow. Check your route before you set off, and tell us if you find a mistake.
