Distance/Routes - KM's Calculation

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is any software/online websites that can be used to calculate the distance of any particular route.
I can't afford a GPS system.
I am riding x4 times during the week in the morning before work and looking to set-up 4 different routes/circuits of around 20-30kms each and wanting to use maps of Melbourne Metro to create these routes.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Buy a $20 [less I think] computer from Big W / Kmart. You can get a reasonable one from LBS for $50-$60.

Google Earth allows one to chart a route and then measure its length.

Once you have a route, select 'elevation profile' under the show menu to give you an idea of how tough / easy your new route will be.

Yeah totally agree now. I've been playing around with it - it's exactly what I was looking for - great tool - and even found some other submitted routes that I wanna check out.
