The long distance cycle network (see
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).
