3 hours of building route in ridewithgps on the smallest back roads using the OSM cycle layer
Can I ask a bit more about how you do this? I'm planning a big euro trip myself. How do you pick the roads you want to use? Or do you let RWGPS do it automatically? Does the OSM cycle layer give better results than the normal layer? Cheers!

How rough do u want it?
The possibility to route to match the kind of surface to your likings is one of RWGPS best assets.
If you want it real rough you select OSM Cycle layer and chooses "walking" as algorithm (yes, different layer will route you different). Then in a mix of choosing cycling/walking/driving you pull the red line to match the road/route you want to go, if it deviates from the suggested (it most likely will deviate, and it's all good).
I can't remember how my route got a little west-biased through Poland, but I think it might have something to do with the original proposal from RWGPS where it wanted me to cross the mountains into Czezch more westly - and then I found a lower crossing more east. I didnt re-route everything because I quite fancied the routing along the river systems in the first proposal.
Try putting in a start of your route and select end point 500km later (or longer) and see what it suggests - Mix and Match, grind and gnarl.
