Folks,
    A quick note to our tiny but talented group of riders. Given that apparently no one is going to ever carry a cue sheet, can I humbly suggest that riders actually take a look at the route and orient themselves to the controls, stores between controls, etc, maybe the night before the ride, just on the off chance that some of it sticks and comes in handy when you're out on the ride? You might even make some notes on a little piece of paper to bring with you. Honestly, just trying to help.

+1  :-)
As the only person I know that continues to offer Q sheets, it’s really appreciated when someone at least looks at the route before they leave home because others will already have a plan in mind and know where the big climbs are and where all the services are.
As an old timer, I also still ride with Q sheet and Garmin just in case one or the other becomes unavailable :-)
Thanks Jeff, this could be really helpful for a lot of people.
Pam.

Thanks Jeff!

I have studied tomorrow's route, taken a picture of it, and added Rob Welch's number to my phone.

On a side note, is there anybody out there who plans to ride a January HCR brevet besides me, Russ and Wayne? Jeff put 4 200Ks out there this month and the weather looks like it is going to go 3 for 4. Seems a shame for so few of our tiny, but talented, group to take advantage.

Jeff, et al,

Or, if you are lucky enough to ride with the HCR RBA, just tag along with him, enjoy the stories and never worry about where you are and when you'll get back.

Cheers.
