VASA Ride Cue Sheet

I’ll get back to regular blogging shortly, but for now here’s something way off-topic – the “cue sheet”:http://www.totalwonkerr.net/file_download/26 for the ~ 56-mile “route”:http://www.waba.org/events/2011VasaRide.php of the 2011 Vasaloppet ride in DC. I’m posting it because it’s a great training ride and I’ve had trouble finding the cue sheet in the past.

According to “WABA,”:http://www.waba.org/index.php which co-sponsors the ride with the Swedish Embassy, registration for the 2012 ride opens Jan 24. The ride is typically the first Sunday in March; I imagine that has not changed. I’ve ridden it twice and it’s pretty great. Also, contrary to what some seem to have heard, the ride’s not rough; the only non-pavement portion, as I recall, is a small part of the Georgetown Branch Trail between Bethesda and Jones Mill Road.

That is all.
