About 7 out of the 9 mile trip is on lcn.

When I do my random day cycles, I ask the question, how can I get to 
.... about 50 to 100 miles away, mostly using cycle network. I'll 
happily go on trunk roads, but it is nicer to be able to go on the more 
cycle friendly roads.

Exactly, I was expecting that it would be able to bridge between the 
parts of the cycle networks. However that will not allow people to be 
able to fix the data easily, when there is an unexpected break in the 
relation.

That sounds more like what I was expecting.
