It doesn't matter how much time you spend on it you will still have to be able to route around stuff when riding it so I wouldn't worry. The more you can do now the better but it's never going to be perfect. I think zigzag on yacf did the first one having come up with a route the night before so in comparison you have feckin' ages.

I've only just planned to CP 2. Concentrated too much on gear acquisition and fitness and not enough on this crucial element.
Far more work getting a decent route than I ever anticipated. Much care needed not to find yourself on a banned road or dual carriage way. Heat maps are great but often find that the majority are taking bike paths and I can't work out whether the bike path is a proper disused Railway line bike path or whether it's a London spec bike path.
Plenty of time though right?
