Distance and timing basis
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. 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.
Scenic road chapters
Jersey Highlands and Greenwood Lake fuel gate → Jersey Highlands and G
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 25 km. The line follows the shore because there is nowhere else for it to go.

3. Belmar
In January 1946, at Camp Evans, an army research base a few kilometres inland from Belmar, engineers bounced a radar signal off the Moon and detected the echo for the first time. Project Diana, as it was called, marked the birth of radar astronomy and the space age, and the site is now home to a museum of communications history.
