## Following long distance cycle routes
|
||||
|
||||
The long distance cycle network (see
|
||||
[www.opencyclemap.org](http://www.opencyclemap.org)) is the first thing to
|
||||
consider when planning a cycle trip. BRouter can do that, and the `trekking`
|
||||
profile makes use of it. It does that implicitly by just making them cheap in
|
||||
the cost-function, so that the routing sometimes *snaps in* to long distance
|
||||
cycle routes.
|
||||
|
||||
That's a good choice for long distance cycling, because these routes are a *safe
|
||||
harbor* almost free of bad surprises. However, when really looking for the
|
||||
*optimal* route between A and B to use it more than once (e.g. your daily
|
||||
commute) you may want to ignore the long-distance network, to put more focus on
|
||||
*hard-facts* like distance, hills and surface quality (use the
|
||||
`trekking-ignore-cr` profile for that purpose).
