Thanks for flagging this up and for the info. I've had a look into it and I think the issue is because it is trying to calculate routes that avoid main roads (one of the 'rules' used for working out cycling routes) and the only way out and back to Wiggins Close is via a main road (the A428), so it can't work out how to get past this road!
I'll have a think about what we can do to overcome this. We might need to relax the routing rules if no routes are found. In the meantime, there are two alternative options you could consider. You can choose to use Google rather than Mapquest for the routing - this doesn't give you all the options that the Mapquest routing offers but the selection of roads is more relaxed. To switch to Google for routing, click the settings icon in the top left corner of the Make Me a Route panel. Or you could start from another nearby location and then adjust the route aftwards (drag the start point to the correct place then use the REPLOT SECTION feature under the Plot menu (with the AUTO-PLOT set to BY ROAD) to edit the section from the correct start point to the alternative one).
Hope this helps for now but will work on a longer term solution.
John
P.S. I've moved this topic to the Bugs and Problems forum.

I am having the same issue. I am trying to create a circular route (have tried numerous distances to see if this is the issue) the % bar races up to 100% but no routes appear.
My settings are for cycling
Type = Circular
Terrain = Paved
Uphills = OK
Browser = Google Chrome
The start position is Wiggins Close, Rugby
Thanks,
Mark

Hi John - Can you give me a bt more info and I'll see if I can reproduce the problem? I've just made some 40 mile routes from my house and it seemed to work fine so maybe it's a combination of location and settings - can you let me know where you're starting from (just the road not your exact address) and what settings you are using please?
Also, can you let me know what happens after it's finished processing? Does the orange processing bar get to 100%? And lastly, what browser you are using.
Thanks,
John

Hi
This site looks like exactly what I need, but I'm really struggling to get it to Make Me A Route from my home. I want a circular route, starting here, for cycling around 40 miles. Putting the A icon on the road outside my house and selecting what appears to be the right options then clicking the Make button goes off and looks like it's doing something, but doesn't come up with any routes.
Putting the A at the main crossroads in town made a difference, but I don't want to start there.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
John
