Distance and timing basis
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Access context

2. Gloucester
Gloucester is a small farming town in a green bowl on the Gloucester River, in the Manning and Hunter country of New South Wales, with steep, forested ranges standing on every side. The Bucketts, great knuckles of rock to the south, and the Mograni range to the north give the town its backdrop. Beyond them climb the plateaus of Barrington Tops, part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, with cool-climate rainforest, snow gums and some of the oldest Antarctic beech on the continent.
