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. Keelung

    Planning note

    Keelung sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Yilan.

  2. 2. Yilan

    Yilan lies on the Pacific coast in north-eastern Taiwan, in the Lanyang plain, a green triangle of rice paddies and scallion fields that is hemmed in by steep mountains on three sides and the open ocean on the fourth. It is wetter than the rest of the island, with rain in most months, and the damp gives the landscape a soft, mossy look. Offshore, Guishan Island, shaped like a turtle, rises from the water and can be seen from the shore on a clear day, and boats go out for whale and dolphin watching from the harbour at Wushih.

    Recorded stop-planning note
