Sorry but I just put on a helmet and go out. West hills-east flat.

Most of the time I leave the house sans helmet and just go but other times when going somewhere unfamiliar its good to be able to plan the easiest/quietest/fastest/most picturesque route.
Looking at your 1978 AA road atlas doesn't give you any information other than how to get from A to B on major roads. Try using a route planner and you may discover new routes in the area you live which you didn't know existed.

Sans means without. Avec means with.

You are correct Sir.
I always ride sans helmet.

Another source of suggested rides is MapMyRide. If you look for routes you'll find a page that can be localised to your chosen location, and a cluster of routes that your fellow cyclists have created of various lengths, from shopping trip to expedition. The routes have the gradient profiles too.
