If I had more time/inclination I would've examined it more closely and removed some of the off-road mistakes. But I really dislike staring at maps and satellite images for hours on end
The annoying thing is that I do actually enjoy staring at maps for hours on end, and thought I'd route-checked really thoroughly, but I still didn't spot half a dozen off-road sections that crept in.

I love maps, too, and these days usually study the route intently before I go on a new one, but I think if I ever did this (which I won't), I'd stick to main roads wherever possible, to absolutely minimise the risk of any unintentional off-roading.

Some countries don't have streetview and I know I examined some suspicious looking stuff via satellite view and it turned out to be concrete and "ok" yet later on it was fulling off road. Very fucking annoying but shit happens.

Someone should write an openstreetmap thing to which you can upload a route and have it warn you about bits that are surface=unpaved or bicycle=no or roadisinshite=yes

No, RWGPS.
It was planned and I had some help when it came to suggestions for reducing climbing.
