How to Plan Your Own Self-Guided Cycling Adventure Using Google Maps

This video is a "how to" A-Z compilation of tips and tricks for using Google Maps to plan your own self-guided cycling adventures. I've planned and executed four such adventures that you can watch on my "Tandem Travels" Youtube Channel. I love the thrill of getting from point A to B and knowing well in advance what to expect along the route from picturesque villages and glaciers to pinnacles and cobbles. The more I can visualize my trip from beginning to end the higher the probability of success.
