Roll Chart

The roll chart is avaliable as a PDF. Please download it from here.

GPS Files

There are two GPS files available for the route. These files contain turn instructions at most intersections along with sufficient additional points to make the route clear on a GPS on the GPS screen.

The first file contains the route broken in 10 sections with no more than 50 points per route. This file is for GPS units that can handle up to 50 points per route (generally older units)and can be downloaded from here or it can be uploaded directly to your GPS from here.

The second file contains the route broken in 2 sections with no more than 250 points per route. This file is for GPS units that can handle up to 250 points per route (generally newer units)and can be downloaded from here or it can be uploaded directly to your GPS from here.

As with the roll chart these files have no known errors however they are still to be used at your own risk. DO NOT use as a definative source of information as GPS accuracy or lack thereof may give false reading. Additionally these files have been created from both real world data and virtual data, meaning that they may not always be accurate in the real world. It is suggested that you use the maps to learn the route and the GPS files as general guidance during the ride.
