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. Bethel

    Bethel is a quiet village on the Androscoggin River, in the western mountains of Maine, close to the New Hampshire border. White clapboard houses and a green stand beside the church, and the Mahoosuc Range, rugged and wooded, rises just to the north. The town has about 2,500 people and an old academy, Gould, founded in 1836, whose brick buildings give the place a New England college look. In winter, the Sunday River ski resort a few kilometres north turns the area busy, but in summer and autumn Bethel is peaceful.
