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.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Scenic road chapters
Black Spur Drive
Slow enough to look. The surface follows the shoreline, so the corners arrive where the water decided, not where an engineer did. Water arrives beside the road and stays for 17 km. The line follows the shore because there is nowhere else for it to go.
Rider note
Check the pass is open before you commit to it.
