My boss pointed me at Gmaps Pedometer today. Nice implementation. It lets you draw a ride route on top of Google Maps. Here's my current favorite 1 hour ride, I set the start/end to the San Antonio Caltrain station near my home.

The route takes you right past the strangest neighborhood of McMansions built around an old quarry up on Stonebrook. I swear I never see anyone outside aside from cyclists, or as SWoo corrected me, cyclists and landscapers.

Update 2008-06-26: Google maps supports this functionality natively. It's under the "My Maps" tab, Create new map. Here's my map of a route between the Palo Alto and San Antonio Caltrain stations.
