Smart Turns – new on cycle.travel's route-planner
I've just discovered this site and I am really impressed but is there a way to filter out certain paths? For example, I am looking for circular routes suitable for racing bikes only... and it keeps giving me (for example) routes with unpaved paths; and some of the cycleways are not `compacted' (i.e. they're muddy footpaths better suited for horses or mountain bikes!).... if I could put this rule in only for x,y,z paths then it'd start to be really useful.

Glad you like it! Unfortunately it’s not something that’s easily achievable with the way cycle.travel’s routeplanner works under the hood: there’s a full explanation in the FAQ. Could you give examples of the muddy footpaths it’s misjudging?
Hi, unfortunately I can't recall what route I was looking at, only that I looked at photos of the path and it was really muddy (proper mountain bikes only). It's a shame you can't filter on the road type (now read FAQ!) but I hope you work towards something like that in future (would it be feasible to have a second database limited to only the non-muddy paths for a second check-box option? Just a though but I guess you've probably brainstormed all possible options!).
It would be possible, just expensive - the database would need a second server and that’s another £50/month! But it’s something I’m keeping under review.
If you could remember the path that’d be really helpful – it shouldn’t route you along a mountain bike-only path in any event, so it’s probably a failing in the source OpenStreetMap data.
