Welcome to
Routemeister's Back Roads
It's all about finding and riding the best motorcycle back roads.

Most of the maps are 1 or 2 pages, with the route highlighted and route instructions printed on the map. Occasionally a detailed overlay is included to clarify a tricky intersection or identify something of interest. Some maps have additional route highlighting to identify especially twisty sections.

Map viewing
For the best view, set your display to(1280 x 1024) In MS explorer or Mozilla, use F11 to maximize the screen size. The maps are sized to fill the Explorer screen width and require vertical scrolling to view the entire map. Sample Map

Map printing
The map is a 150 dpi PDF file chosen to preserve small detail. For best quality prints, sized ~7.5 X 9.5 to fit your tank bag map window: Print using a normal (not draft) quality setting on your printer. Ink jet photo paper works well to prevent the ink from "bleeding" and blurring the smallest details. Note: you will need a PDF reader to open and/or print the file

Available Routes
This is a small site, so maps are shown as large thumbnails without detailed route instructions. If you want a complete map with route instructions, click on the E-mail link to request it. Each map page runs 200kB - 400kB and some routes have as many as 9 pages.  Garmin (.gdb) files and GPS exchange format (.gpx) files are available for some routes. The GPS routes generally duplicate the .pdf route, but may vary depending on the base map and routing preferences resident on your particular device.
