Cue Sheet Defined

By David Fiedler, About.com

Definition:

A Cue Sheet is a set of directions for a bike route, trip or ride. Cue sheets are primarily written, and not visual like a map. They contain abbreviations for turns (L, R, and X for cross) and typically look something like this:

Sunny Days Bike Ride

Start - Sunnyville City Park
L Easy Street 1.5 miles
R Shady Oak Lane 3.7 miles
X Route 151 10.6 miles
R Fenton Lane 4.6 miles
and so on. . . .
