Joliet 0 Posted November 22, 2006 What is a roll chart and what is its purpose? I was reading the entry form for the desert dash and it says I need a roll chart holder. It seems strange that I would "need" one since I have been riding for over 40 years and don't even know what one is. Where can I find one cheep since this is probably not something I will use very often. Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken All Organized Dual Sport rides use a adding machine like tape as a map that tells you where to turn as well as other important information. You can pick this up at your local shop. I know San Diego Sport Cycles sells them. Kev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2Wheels 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Did a google search and found this http://www.dixiedualsport.com/rollchart.html It explains a roll chart pretty well. I saw a roll chart holder at Cycle Gear in El Cajon the other day. I didn't look at the price, so I don't know how much it costs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joliet 0 Posted November 23, 2006 That seems easy enough. Not quite as easy as following the guy in front of you like we do on all the other rides we do. But I'm game. Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Ken, I have some for sale also, which will be available at the ride for $25.00 total. Nice thing about a rollchart ride, is you don't have to follow someone else, and you can ride at your own pace. With a "follow the leader" type ride, if one person has a problem, then usually everyone gets held up. All organized dualsport events are run with a rollchart. There's no way you could have 75+ people following each other. Hope to see you out there !! 2wheels, thanks for posting the link !! I just read the link...correction to what it says......on organized rides, you never have to tape the sections of rollchart together, they should always be ready to put in the holder without you having to do anything but tape it into the holder.
