Relatively new to the bikepacking/bike touring world and getting to understand the separation between the two.
I am really pleased with the layout of bikepacking.com's website and highlighting all the various routes around the world, specifically their map view, however I am having difficulty finding something specifically for bike touring.
https://bikepacking.com/bikepacking-routes/
Im trying to find something similar for bike touring – a consolidation of the most famous and classic bike tour routes around the world.
I understand that eurovelo is a thing, but i'm looking for something more global. I am also aware of www.adventurecycling.org which is USA centered, but what about everywhere else globally?
Also I find that adventurecycling.org and eurovelo's websites are so dull and dry and do a poor job at showcasing the highlights that each route has to offer. Bikepacking.com is great at this.
Is there anything currently out there that I haven't found yet?
Thank you!

Build it and they will come.
[Bikepacking.com](http://Bikepacking.com) is a site with a lot of effort put into curating routes and writing articles, which is payed for because bikepacking is an area in biking that is getting a lot of attention from both consumers and the industry. Bike touring is every bit as great as bikepacking, but is neither new nor cool so it doesn’t get the eyeballs from consumers nor the advertising from the industry. All that to say that bike touring websites are a labor of love compared to something like [bikepacking.com](http://bikepacking.com) which, though I’m sure it isn’t making anyone rich, pays its own bills. I’d love it if the site you’re looking for existed, but instead the resources are more like [crazyguyonabike.com](http://crazyguyonabike.com) which has all the information anyone could ever want, but in a form where it takes a lot of sifting to get it.
