raybo Cool! I wasn't aware of your page - will definitely be checking it out.

I also have a bike tour planning page that I (and anyone can) use to keep track of the research I do for my bike trips. The sole purpose of the (non-commercial) site is to help bike tourists find useful information.
Link rot is a major problem with such an archive. Over the years, I have tried various methods to keep the links in the archive up to date. It is hard to visit 2000+ links very often. I have found that the official sites of states and other governments move things around all the time, breaking links in the process.
Incidentally, if someone would like to help me keep these links up to date, let me know. Also, if you want to add links into the archive that you think might be of use to other bike tourists, you can do so after a free registration.

njkayaker I think you are misunderstanding the intention: if people are making the effort to post information here presumably they would like it to remain accessible in future. The 'request' is just that they preserve or post that information in a way that means it stays accessible. Hardly takes a minute.
