my bike apart without removing the wiring. The only thing I would have
preferred about the Secula Plus is that it use the standard hex
When I was hit by a car and Bleriot was mangled, the backup bike (1971 Gitane
TdF) was recalled from the daughter's shed. She had kidnapped it, but wasn't
using it. Borrowed a 700c generator hub wheel from a friend, replaced the rear

Yeah, I do use RWGPS. I think it is the best thing since sliced bread,
although I do take all vertical feet claims with a grain of salt. Wearing my
other hat, as a member of the Randonneurs USA Routes committee; our job is to
vet brevet routes. I get routes submitted as 1) a cue sheet, and, w

It turns out that my bike computer has a distance +/- function, where, at some
point on the cue sheet, I can enter the difference between the distance on the
computer and the distance on the cue sheet. If I display that function, it
shows the corrected distance.
Many cue sheets are
plus all you ever wanted to know about creating cue sheets. Note: don't use
the cue to cue distance to generate the cumulative distance, subtract the
cumulative distance at each turn. Otherwise, errors keep accumulating :-)
