Why are you deleting your cache and then reading it? Kind of removes
the advantage of using cache in the first place.
Also, the Cache object is a static object and you don't need to use
CR::init on it.
You can just do Cache::read('routermenus') directly in your routes
file.
That said, it is a pretty clever way of doing it and I think you
should turn this into a proper bakery article.
