ThE Nk RiDe CuE ShEeT

Here it is. Do with it what you like, I recommend you read it. Some navigational tips. You cross I 4 twice once under once over. You cross rail road tracks twice, Once over Once under. Make notes of those crossings as you ride so you can backtrack and navigate. This sheet may be overkill but I want everyone to ride their ride and cruise their pace.
