It saves it when you are done and all you have to do is bookmark it. There are a lot of other sites out there that do the same thing, but this one's pretty user-friendly.
 

Just a quick comment on the Fitchburg TT course. As part of a 3.5 hr ride through central MA yesterday, I hit the course again just ot see how badly I could suffer on it. The thing that struck me is that the final climb is bad, but it isn't the killer on this course. There is a 1/2 mi sustained climb running into some rollers immediately after turning right onto RT 140 from RT 31. The climb is exacerbated because the sharp turn off of RT 31 prevents carrying as much momentum as possible into the hill. I was suffering up this hill at or under 14 MPH and the subsequent rollers prevented a quick recovery after cresting. In fact, once I got to the flats going by the reservoir and into the final climb, I could not sustain a speed I figure I should be able to on that terrain. So, factor that into a simulation. Ca. halfway through the tt (actually right at about 3.5 mi) figure you've got a good sustained climb that could sap your legs (at the very least, it sapped mine).
 

Yes, I agree. Back on the old, longer FSR TT course that same uphill drag was a in it, and a killer. That's why I like my practice TT route. It's not exactly the same, but you'll notice it drags up steadily, esp. to the ending climb on Rt. 20.
