Roadbook navigation 101.
A roadbook looks intimidating when you first see it. There can be a lot of information in each note. But once you understand what the info means in each section of a note, it quickly becomes second nature to understand.
Each note has 3 main parts. In the left box is the distance traveled in KM from the starting point. In the center box is a “tulip” which is a drawing of where you will be at that distance. The center box may also contain other symbols or text info related to that location. The right hand box contains symbols and info about the route between the location of the current note and the next note. The bottom of the right hand box may contain a CAP heading (highlighted in yellow) and a GPS location for the note.
To follow the roadbook, you start at a set location where you zero your tripmeter. Then you ride off at the correct CAP along the road in front of you until your tripmeter matches the next distance number in the next note in the roadbook. Once there, you do what that note says and head off to the next one. You do that a bunch of times and eventually you make it to the end of the route. There you have it. Not so hard, was it?
