Each rider/author could write a 1000 word article about one specific place they went to on their route and the roads travelled complete with maps and photos. You could follow that with a brief sub-article about the author themselves, the bike they took and maybe their top 10 useful tips (excluding the bleeding obvious) for anyone thinking about a similar trip.
I'd buy it.

Two thoughts;
1. Places are special, but so are times. Best place I ever went was Berlin. Why so special? The wall came down the month before. No point putting that in a book of places, nice as modern Berlin is. There are people too.
2. Based on the above, would you like your favourite place to have a pay-and-display installed so the locals can still get to the shops and all those 15 bike parties from the GS Club/RAT/HOG/Etc. etc. can tick it off in their book?
I really, really prefer people to simply talk. Ask me about a trip, tell me you might be near part of it, then I'll tell you where a good place to eat could be.
Tip of the day (also in two parts):
1; Use water when available, melting snow wastes stove fuel.
2: Never use yellow snow
