Hi! New and have a simple question I think. MILES

[DuchessRide]

Hi there! I am one of four girls that have started a Non-Profit business for female youth in the Vail Valley area. (colorado) DuchessRide… We will be skateboarding from Santa Barbra to San Diego the first week in October. So we bought these maps to help us choose our route. What I'm struggling with and think is probably super simple is being about to accurately pick our stopping points. We are using section 5 of the pacific coast route and want to skate between 15 and 23 miles a day. The way I'm reading the map (and I watched the tutorials) the dots with miles between is not adding up? User error I'm sure. What is the EASIEST way to start and figure out every 20 miles? Any help is appreciated.
Check us out on FB and IG both under Duchess Ride. No girls have every done a long distance skate trip……see you out there!

Because the mileage starts over with each panel, there's going to be some math involved no matter what you do. I use a spreadsheet to help with the math and prevent silly mistakes. Not necessarily easy, but certainly not rocket science.

To clarify John's post, The LAST mileage printed on map A will be repeated on map B. If a map segment says 8 miles at it's boundary, that 8 miles terminates at a dot on the next segment and the same 8 miles is printed repeatedly on the next map. I'm referring to the mileage printed on the actual maps, not the directional cues printed on the left.
