200K Preliminary Route EXCEL Cue Sheet   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #27 of 209 |
The attached cue sheet for the 200K is about 98% accurate.  I don't like the route around mile mark 3.8 as it is very confusing me thinks.  So I'll probably be changing that section the week of March 19th along with double checking the mileage with a Garmin Foretrex 101 GPS unit.
 
Sometime during the week of March 19th, I hope to post the final excel cue sheet file both to here and to the FHL website.
 
The way the cue sheet is read follows:
 
GO: That mean go that distance. 
Tot: Total mileage running
Dir: Which way to go or some kind of indicator.
 
 For example
 
Start at ZHONG SHAN STATION
GO: 1.77 Kilometers
L means Turn LEFT
DESCR: In this case it's telling you that the left is  onto an unmarked road after an overpass
 
A randonneur trick:  I reset my odometer after every turn and just worry about the GO.  Why?  I know I'm going to end up with over 200 km so I don't care about the running total.  Also, if I konw I need to go 1.77 km and I go 2.0 km, that's a red flag that maybe I missed the turn.    For very short distances such as .04 or .14 , yah I just mentally add it.
 
An example:  after 7.1 when I BR and see the Kerry EAS building on my far right I reset.
I now GO 1.9 km.  If I'm not in a congested area with a bus stop around, I sure am look'n for it.  (grin)
 
REMEMBER: This is not the official cue sheet or distances, but at least it will give you a good flavor for where the brevet will go. 
 
If you print out just the area with data it's designed so that it can be folded into quadrants.  I'm doing a Joe Arts & Crafts project and will have homemade cue sheet holders and binder clips that can clip onto the cable housings.
