I have been using that, as well as the route triaining route creator on http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/default.asp . I like these. the one on beginner triathlete is good because it store your routes and when you put in how long you rode for and what route you took, it calcultes your avg speed as well as your elevation change. But I use it for all of my training recording.

One thing I would fix with these google mash ups is allow some sort of way to create a starting and ending point and have it follow the road in between, like yahoo maps does. Right now I have to put down a lot of points if I am creating a route up a canyon because of all of the twists and turns.

I found this on velonews last week and have become addicted to it. I think I have bluegoose addicted as well. Between the two of us we account for all but one of the routes posted in our area.
