Michelin published a book back in 2013 called 100 virees a moto. Which they also published online accompanying 100 GPX files (tracks) and 100 PDF road book files. All of which I have and I'm working with members of UKGSer to bring up to date and in line with the Ride guide to Europe

Edit: Michelin started with 80 routes in early publications, then as the book was republished increased it to 90, then finally ending at 100, older versions of the 80 virees files are available to download on the UKGSer site and are broken down into regions http://www.ukgser.com/forums/forumdispl ... -Pyrenees)

Good route but more than that thanks for showing me that Google my maps exists! I had no idea!
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

If you use BaseCamp (Garmin) you can export a GPX file to the Google KML/KMZ format and import in to My Maps. Makes it easier to share route info and embed in a blog as I do. I believe Tyre also recognises the KML format too. It's useful for sharing routes on-line with mates sometimes (thumbs)
