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. Candia
Candia is the kind of New Hampshire town where the main attractions are a road, a church and a view of fields. It sits in Rockingham County, a short drive east of Manchester, on gently rolling land of old farms, orchards and woodlots, divided by stone walls laid by farmers who cleared the glacial rocks from their fields two centuries ago. There is no grand sight and no crowd, and that is why it makes a fine place to start a ride.
