I saw this map and thought something similar would be sweet for use on race course maps:
.
They haven’t highlighted the good gelato shop by the lake, slack.
For race purposes I think the next level for course maps would be showing the wind shadow of landmark features (buildings, hills) in prevailing conditions. Along with contours.
Countours woudl be pretty cool, Although you could probably just use google earth to really check out most courses in detail and overlay a profile on each. I personally am not someone that pre-rides courses. Although since I’ll be passing through Madison in July, I’m tempted to take an hours and drive the loop at least once just so the more technical turns/descents are a little familiar. From riding my motorcycle in other parts of Wisconsin in the past, I know blind corners can get you a little.
