Cue Sheet Mounting

I use a GPS receiver mounted to my OSS handle bars. It's much more practical than Cue Sheets. I have
it programs to beep and point out the direction of all my turns.

I have my stoker shout directions at the appropriate intersections.

Hi Rob, I put sheets and maps in plastic bags and safety pin to pant legs, sleeve, or shirt,

On a TourEasy or EZ-1: small ziplock bag and 2 pipecleaners which pierce the bag and fasten it to
handlebar crosspiece. Alternative: bag and spring clips. 3rd choice: shirt pocket but you have to be
able to steer one-handed and view road askance.

I use a bag clip like you buy at Walmart or any discount store. I put two-sided sticky tape on the
bottom of the clip and fasten it to the top of my handlebars (I have OSS). I also drill four holes
in the bottom of the clip and strap it to the handlebars with zip ties.

That's a simple clever solution for the TE. For a USS bike I usually fold the cue sheet neatly and
slip it under my lycra shorts. It stays put and it is easily accessible.

I have a bad habit of just following people. On one cross state ride I followed the wrong people and
ended up at their house which was about ten miles off course. They were helpful in redirecting me
and nice enough not to laugh, but I could tell they wanted to. Cue sheets are good if you take the
trouble to look at them.

Sorry, Skip, I can't resist: Is that a cue sheet, or are you just glad to see me?

I have a few solo rides that I've put together from the state bike map and a book of street maps of
all the cities & towns in the area. So I made my own small pocketsize cue sheets since I haven't
memorized these routes. Drawing these on plain paper helps me get them clearer in my mind. Since
these are custom-made for me, they are a lot easier to use than printed ones, esp. the ones that are
in those small thick chatty guidebooks -- too big for a pocket, and they won't stay flat open to the
map you need.

But so far noone has adopted you?

"Yeah, this is Skip. He followed us home one day, all lost and lonely and we just couldn't get
ourselves to throw him out, so we kept him."

I never thought of Rolling It Up and putting it there, but it would probably enhance (so to
speak) my chances of meeting a new special friend on the ride. I'd want to use something smaller
than and 8 1/2" x 11" que sheet to avoid any subsequent dissapointment and rejection which can be
tough on a guy.

One method, besides the map up the shorts trick (on a hot day the map has a tendency to soften and
run a bit), is the Tennis Ball tube . I get a clear tennis ball tube, you can usually find them
around tennis courts, and place the 8" X 11" map rolled up inside the tube. I velcro or rubber band
the tube to my handlebars in front of me.The route I'm traveling is exposed toward
me.I leave one end of the tube open and simply turn the map with my finger tips as I need to. It
works well but with some handle bars it can interfere with your line of sight. It seems to be
that way on my Giro but it worked well on my VREX. Denny in Sayre, Pa "Bent but not Broken"

Blindly following the other riders in the group. 😉 I once did a 78 mile metric century this way.

Rob,

I have the information from the cue sheet tattoed on my thigh, just above the knee. It's always accessible . . . and I can do two more rides before I run out of thigh!

Ben

That made me laugh. Thanks. An image comes to mind of Florence Griffith Joyner's one-legged running
suit. Especially if the route you're riding is full of turns.
