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. Lauro Müller

    Lauro Müller is a coal-mining town at the foot of the Serra do Rio do Rastro, one of the most famous roads in Brazil, and it sits in a quiet, green valley under a wall of cliffs. The town of ten thousand has a modest, working look, with a railway that once carried coal to the coast and the faded colour of an industry that has declined. The name honours Lauro Müller, a Brazilian engineer and politician born in this region in the nineteenth century, who served as governor of the state and later as a government minister.

    Recorded stop-planning note

    May refer to an earlier itinerary; verify against your selected route before riding.

    Planning note

    Lauro Müller sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Bom Jardim da Serra.

  2. 2. Bom Jardim da Serra

    Bom Jardim da Serra sits on the high plateau of Santa Catarina, a cold, windswept, rolling grassland dotted with araucaria pines and apple orchards, at the very top of the Serra Geral escarpment. It is a small place, and the larger towns are close: Lauro Muller, about ten thousand people, lies at the foot of the escarpment, and Sao Joaquim, sixteen thousand, is up the plateau and known as one of the coldest towns in Brazil, where snow falls in some winters. Fuel and services are in those towns, so plan accordingly.
