Maps and cue sheets are available in PDF format on the GLR website at: 200 km route and 300 km route. The longer routes are new and are pending approval, they will be posted shortly.

The 200 km route and 300 km route are also available on Google Maps. These routes show control locations and other points of interest. The default Earth view has a Terrain option that replaces the road map layer with a topographical map with 40 ft. contour intervals. The Satellite view can be useful for urban route planning while Street View—enabled by dragging the Pegman icon onto a highlighted road, can be used to display panoramic images along the majority of both routes.

For a more immersive experience, Google Maps’ routes can be opened in Google Earth. To view a route, click the ‘View in Google Earth’ link. This will initiate a download if the Google Earth client is not installed. Note: you may want to uncheck the ‘Install Google Chrome’ option that is selected by default.

To display the brevet start/finish location: open the sidebar, open the Temporary Places and Brevets Delavan folders, and double click the Start/Finish Super 8 link. For a bird’s eye view of the route and surrounding area: use the zoom slider on the right to establish an Eye altitude of 1600 ft, the eye control to tilt the horizon until it’s slightly above the top of screen, the eye control to rotate the display, and the hand control to scroll the display.

The routes are also posted on MapMyRide at MMR 200 km brevet and MMR 300 km brevet. Interactive elevation data is available on the Summary page. Route data can be downloaded in GPX or KML format via the Export Route link, also on the Summary page.

Total climbing is ~ 1800 ft. on 200 km route and ~ 3600 ft. on 300 km with about a third of that between New Glarus and Barneveld.

It's important to note that all route information is for reference use only. There may be minor last minute changes and riders will need to follow the official route provided at registration.
