Not my route Nev but My comment was based on some strange distance info recently noticed by me over both short and local routes.
Ox has posted a route Im interested in, in the plan a ride section which had part of the trip as many hours directly over the trip he did in just a couple.
But I do need glasses as Im having trouble reading micrometers and fractional dial vernier.
Just add a few hundred Ks. was almost the best advice Ive ever had in this game.
