Back before I retired my setup was as so.

The brevet bag I used had a map sheet pocket in the front and I could attach the bag to a fanny pack I kept to the side. When I was riding I usually pulled it up so it wasn't around my waste but a bit higher. If you carry it on your person you need to keep it in something like a ziplock to keep it intact.
This setup is probably unique to me as the preying mantis bars don't leave alot (any) room for anything mounted to the bike. Sometimes I'd also ride with a garmin etrex with the map already loaded Smiley

Probably far more then you need to carry on the bike. Smiley

Dan, will you be riding the V3? I purchased a couple of map clips from RBM, put them on the SXP handlebar, and just attached a ziplock bag with the cue sheet in it. Doesn't contact my knees, and doesn't flap around much. Should work for you on the V3.

However, I also get the cue info in advance, and reprint it in size 14 font, for readability.... Wink

V3? In my dreams. I have an Actionbent, the cast iron model with the optional 40psi tires, custom untruable wheels and bonus safety feature of an extremely loud drive line! It's kinda like the Harley-Davidson loud pipe theory. People hear me coming and get out of the way! Shocked

I have to say it's never given me any trouble though, and pushing all this weight should help for when I pick up a nice bike.

Pettys, are you planning to join her? I'm tempted, but I will be hanging with a couple potentially more casual riders for BeanStalk, and may not be able to make a planned Bobcat start time...
