Corsair, I'm so anal sometimes about training but so very directionally impaired, I used to keep my run race course maps (if provided) so I'd have ready made routes if I got bored with stuff aound my house.

Now I'll be collecting bike route maps. I just put them in a 3 ring binder... if I can, I grab 2 maps at registration - one to carry (it gets all goopy and wrinkled) and one I throw in the car for my notebook.
