- Please submit ride sheets to Statisticians Al and Lois Farrell, 4202 Hickory Nut Place; Midlothian, VA 23112
- CueTip 5. A map is an important addition to the cue sheet. There are a variety of sources for useful maps, e.g. ADC’s Metro Richmond Street Map Book, American Map’s Virginia State Road Atlas, DeLorme’s Atlas and Gazetteer, Virginia County Maps, or one of several map software programs, e.g. Microsoft’s Streets and Trips. A hand-drawn straight-line map that clearly shows street names and route numbers and names will do the job as well or better. If you have any suggestions for user-friendly cue sheets, please send them to email.

Halifax History Ride and Meander (rescheduled from April 15)Leader: Dave Strickland, 434-594-5371, skimohop_99@yahoo.com
Meet Dave for one of his rides in Halifax County with level and smooth roads with low traffic and a tour of Halifax County. The participants on the October ride last year really enjoyed the countryside and this ride is more rural and traffic free than the last one. Starting at the Boat Landing at Weldon, North Carolina, the tour goes to Enfield, Scotland Neck and Halifax, where there are store stops, each about 20 miles apart. The Williamsburg and the Greenville NC(EC Velo) Bicycle clubs are also invited. This is a social ride but faster riders are welcome. Cue sheets will be available to those who wish to ride at their own pace. After the ride those who wish may join the group for lunch at Ralph¹s Barbeque or Mayflower Seafood. To get to the Boat Landing, take Interstate 95 South to Exit 173 at Roanoke Rapids. Follow 158 East for 2 to 3 miles and you will see the boat landing on your right. The drive is about an hour and a half from Richmond and about the same from Greenville, NC
