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.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Millinocket
Millinocket is the last town before the woods. The name is Abenaki and the place has the air of a frontier, with a long main street, a few cafes and a big skyline of wooded hills behind. For most of the twentieth century it was a mill town, built around the paper mills of the Great Northern Paper Company, which gave it the title Magic City of the Maine Woods, but the mills closed in the 2000s, and the town has been reinventing itself since as a base for outdoor travel.
