1 Cue-sheets Tour de Tasmanie 2016 v2.2 (pdf file) 1. Cue-sheet hard-copy print-outs WILL NOT BE PROVIDED. To save money, paper and ink for the club please print them (if you so desire), from either the Word (.docx) or this PDF file. You could also load either of the files onto most mobile phones. The Word (.docx) version is not locked so that you can change the sizing or formatting to better suit your requirements. 2. Route Maps at a relatively small scale are available for download (JPEGs) at 3. GPX Track and Garmin TCX Course files for GPS are available for download, please refer to for the files and instructions on how to use them (including how to download free and legal maps for most Garmin Edge GPS). The GPX and TCX files must be downloaded from NOT from ridewithgps.com, the files had to be modified to ensure the Track Point count remained below Garmin s limit of 10, Direction arrows: 5. or is to back-track, please note the TCX alert will be (straight), but it will be obvious The text limit for TCX alerts are 10 characters, several of the alerts have been modified to try and make as best sense as possible. Eg X = cross or crossing, long street or road names have been modified or are cut off again, modified to make as best sense as possible. The cue-sheets list the TCX alerts. 6. The Leg distances are approximate, they have mostly been rounded to the nearest 100m. 7. Railway crossings (Xing) are NOT all indicated, only the three in close succession on Day 4 near New Norfolk are included in the Cue-sheets, this is because they cross the road at 45 degrees instead of the usual 90 degrees. 8. There are three dirt sections, one on Day 1 (2.7km) and two on Day 2 (20km and 1.5km sections). These are indicated on the Cue-sheets. Road works do occur, especially on the West Coast of Tasmania don t be surprised by 1km or 2km (or longer) dirt sections from time to time 9. Not all hazards are listed in the Cue-sheets or the rider briefing document: eg railway crossings, awkward intersection crossings, road works, steep turning descents, areas of native animals (basically everywhere you ll be riding at night!) etc. Hazards that are not listed do not preclude a rider from using appropriate caution and common sense. You have an obligation to return safely to your family. 10. There is an alternative route in case of poor weather on Day 2 and/or Day 3. These are included at the end of this document, and the corresponding GPX Track and TCX Course files are available for download. The Sleep Control cut-off times remain the same (and their locations), but the intermediary control times do differ (and the location of on Day 3) again please check the Cue-sheets. Only ride these alternative routes if directed by the Ride Organiser (RO). 11. If you spot any errors in the Cue-sheets please let me know info@tdt.bike 12.
