a couple of my riding buddies are planning a ride. we would like to follow the race route to the extent our fuel will allow. does anyone have the race waypoints in a handy format...or even the location of a handy map? thanks for the help, bob

Try the SCORE web site...they had a course map for the last race and I think it had some GPS markers...

The route is not the same as previous 1000... or rarely is.

www.rlhcomm.com has the race maps and course notes from about 2000 to present. The SCORE web site has the GPS waypoints from the last race and maybe the last 12 months but I think they are downloads for specific GPS units. I suppose you may be able to convert them to your use??? But basically the SCORE races are not that difficult to follow on a map and the ribbons and arrows are still up from the last race. Just print out the race map and course notes from the SCORE or RLH site. If you get lost just take the most used road until you meet someone.
