POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Accuracy


Our cue sheets and maps are accurate within 20 feet over every inch of our routes and guaranteed 100% correct. All cumulative and incremental mileage distances have been verified using satellite imagery software and GPS data points collected and verified ourselves. The accuracy of every road name and landmark listed on the cue sheets has also been verified on the road ourselves many, many times both in a car and on a bike and also through the collective experiences of our previous participants. In fact, the cues themselves were actually written by us from the seat of a bicycle because we know how different things can look from a bike than from in a car!

All map sheets are generated directly from these actual GPS data points collected directly on our routes. Routes are represented by an unmistakable solid, thick black line punctuated by white dots which represent the actual GPS data points. Generating the map this way is also extremely accurate for following bike paths since bike paths are normally not included on regular road maps. The data points for the bike paths were also obtained by us directly by cycling the path, not by just drawing them in by hand like other bike rides are forced to do.
