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. Mystic
Mystic is a name that travels far beyond its size, and it earns it with ships and pizza in roughly equal measure. The town sits where the Mystic River broadens into a tidal estuary just before Fishers Island Sound, and for much of the nineteenth century its shipyards turned out fast clippers and whalers. That history is preserved at Mystic Seaport, an open-air museum of a whole waterfront village, with tall ships, old workshops and the Charles W. Morgan, a whaler launched in 1841 that is the last wooden whaling ship in the world.
