See http://www.opencyclemap.org/

which overlays it onto OpenStreetMap (which is generally better than
Google maps for cycling, walking, horse-riding, etc.-- Google Maps maps
are completely driving-oriented and don't have any footpaths,
bridleways, etc. on them).

I am myself unclear to what extent the NCN routes are supposed to
actually exist in the OpenStreetMap data itself-- there seems to be
quite a bit there, and their wiki has guidelines about how to tag NCN
routes. Opencyclemap may just be a cycling-oriented renderer for
OpenStreetMap rather than an OpenStreetMap overlay.

I would have thought the purpose of opencyclemap was to add cycle routes
to OpenStreetMap. That would seem the logical thing to do anyway.

If you get the GPS data you can import it in to Memory Map.
Should have thought that even if Sustrans or others don't have the data
on thier own sites there are enough cyclists about who will have done
that already and posted on shared route sites.
