Cue Sheet Archive

Cue-less where to Ride? Follow the links and find good places to ride courtesy of Frederick Pedalers members who contributed these cue sheets. The cue sheets are organized by ride start location. Visit the Ride Start page if you are unfamiliar with the start locations. These cue sheets are in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.

These cue sheets have been collected over the years. Don't assume they are 100% accurate or reflect current road conditions. Durign the summer of 2010 we saw a large number of road closures for construction, and none of them were reflected in the cue sheets.

If you would like to create a cue sheet, you can use this Excel template. Here are the directions on using it with Gmaps Pedometer. You can also use Map My Ride, although the details are a little different.

Frederick Pedalers Century Rides

The club organizes a century each September. There are typically metric century, half century and sometimes even shorter options. We have an almost complete collection of cue sheets going back to 2001.
