New way to get route distances--RouteRuler.com
I posted a new thread on this website several weeks ago and I just wanted to write back and thank all of you who have taken the time to look at our site www.routeruler.com, and for the commetns you have sent.
We are still fine-tuning some of the features and look of the site, but we do have a website up at www.RouteRuler.com , and want you to take a look at it. We feel it could turn out to be a great training tool for Cyclicts as well. We have been live for 2 months now and have 1200 members and average 6900 hits a day.
For all who have not, I hope you will give it a try and send us any comments you might have. We will be constantly improving the look and usability of Route Ruler through the coming months.
I hope you like it, and I look forward to any comments you may send.

RouteRuler here. I see we got some chatter I would like to respond
I apologize, spamming is not what we are doing or intended. We were just looking for feedback from bikers... and since we are runners and don't know that many we thought the easiest way was to post on some of these forums. I am sorry if they seem intrusive, but we started by posting to a couple and got no response, so I decided to see if I could find a more effective way of reaching out. The service is free and will hopefully remain so for as long as we can maintain it. We are just 2 runners working on this in our spare time.
I want to thank all of you for your suggestions and many of your commetns we are going to be working in on in future versions. Especially the ease of which it should download, the ease of getting maps, and getting rid of those annoying flashing ads. We have those on there to try and defer some of the costs associated with running the site, but we think they are annoying, and we have heard back that others do as well, so we are working on a plan to jettison them.
From our internal monitoring we have seen a huge respose from Team Estrogen forum and appreciate the support, comments, and suggestions. BTW-we have no devilish intention when asking for some basic personal data, our intentions was to use it as a demographic meter to see what kinds of people are using the site. We have no intentions to sell the lists, and there is even an opt-out button on the form. Please, be assured that your info is safe and not going to be used for anything more then internal demo analysis, as perhaps a way to entice relevant advertisers.
I hope this answers some of your concerns and I hope that some of you will takw another, or a first look at the site and send us additional commnets. Feedback is our currency for right now.
Thanks again for the support,
