Actually, the OBC did sell a set of route maps and they were available
in stores years ago (I still have a set). If I recall correctly, it
was spear-headed by Dwight Yachuk.
The technogoly was simple -- take an existing hard copy map (topo maps
if I recall), then draw the routes on with a pen. The nice part about
the maps was that they were done on tyvec (sp?) so that they weren't
ruined if they got wet (like in a jersey pocket)
Beaconsfield's maps are on line. (http://www.clubcycliste.com) They
don't appear to be scanned, so perhaps they're using a more
sophisticated approach along the lines of a GIS system.
