It would be nice if the route were mapped on http://ridewithgps.com so that one could download a cue sheet or gps file. Mapping on http://gpsies.com would also allow download to gps devices but not a cue sheet option.

Hi Kevin,
You can access a cue sheet by selecting “Turn-By-Turn Directions (show)” beneath the elevation chart. Hope this helps!
