Cue Sheets for Cycling the Skyline Drive & Blue Ridge Parkway - Southbound
I have put together a
cue sheets for each day of the 10-day southbound trip.
Each cue sheet contains an elevation profile, points of interest, and
meal suggestions.
I recommend that you do the following:
1) Measure the map compartment window on your front bag.
2) Print out the cue sheets (if you don't have Microsoft Word,
let me know and I can put them up in pdf format also). Also note
that the files are pretty large (500kB - 800kB) so they may take a
while to download with a slow connection.
3) Take the sheets to a copy center and reduce them so that they
are about 1" smaller (in width and height) than your map window.
4) Put two sheets back to back (Days 1-2, Days 3-4, etc) and
laminate them (4 laminated, 2-sided, sheets total). It is nice to
have them laminated for rainy days
so that you can clip them to the top of a rain cover on your bag.
