Cue Sheets -- turn by turn directions

Touring cyclists often attach the cue sheets to their bikes so they can navigate without having to stop. (Clothespins can be used to clip the cue sheet to the brake cables.) Bear in mind that there may be last minute changes to the route -- so, the cues may have to be adjusted on the day of the ride.

DO NOT PRINT THIS PAGE: a printable version of the cue sheets is available that will give you convenient sheets to carry on your bike. PRINT VERSION (pdf)
