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. 1. Beppu

    Beppu steams. Walk down almost any street in this city on the east coast of Kyushu and you will see white plumes rising from vents, drains and rooftops, because the ground below is boiling. With some two thousand hot-spring sources, among the most of any place in Japan, Beppu produces more hot water than almost anywhere in the world, and the city is organized around it, with public bathhouses, steaming ponds and a faint smell of sulfur everywhere.
