I have the maps from both CRW and Rubels, but if anyone has cue sheets for the Claire Saltonstall Bike Route I would appreciate it if they could send them to me.

Thanks

I would suggest that you consider some detours.

Some people recommend going through Quincy and Weymouth to the coast, which avoids most of the route. Others do not like the route in Plymouth, either.

I can make some suggestions about various spots along the route. I live on a street perpendicular to the route that many people take instead.

I'm not entirely sure what a cue sheet is, but there's a set of annotated maps of the route here: http://massbike.org/bikeways/ccbw/

I think that some just go right up Washington St through Roslindale. You take the turtle pond parkway just like the route afterwards.

If you look at map 4 then you see how it takes you to route 28. A lot people just go York St(which is twisty - so I recommend holding the lane).

on map 5 people have gone down North Quincy Street(lots and lots of traffic) and take the left onto East Ashland. They follow the East Ashland st into Abington. They go through the lights and take a right on to rt 18. They then take the left onto Washington St. They ride down Washington st all the way until they see left turn by the gas station.

The route through Plymouth is tricky. The cRW does not follow the route for the P2P ride. The cue sheet for their P2P ride is on their website. They avoid route 3A for the most part.
