On my first tour I planned a route, however all that happened was I was stuck on a very boring road for miles and miles. The planned route lasted a day before I turned off and just chose places that looked like I could hide a tent and were roughly the direction I wanted to go in.
I'm kind of lazy and can't be bothered to plan a route. I know I'll just end up changing my plan because someone I met on the way will tell me about a waterfall or lake or nice town. I also enjoy the fact that a cycle tour takes little planning, just get on a bike and go!

How much do people plan their route?
Ie do you plan all of it before, or just have a rough overall route with certain check points and work it out as you go?
And are there any good websites to map out routes or do you just use a combination of Google maps / physical maps?
Cheers
