Is it valid to create a single 'marked cycle routes' relation and put all the ones I find in that so that at least they are stored somewhere?

Ugh, your city sucks for not labelling their cycling routes. I suggest
you complain, as not everybody biking around has a biking map on them.

And yes, I would do exactly what you are suggesting. If you can find a
text description of the route, that doesn't violate copyright, AFAIK.
