About this route

A 65-kilometre road ride across rolling countryside north-west of Lyon, with a handful of climbs. Speed lifts on the flats and drops on the ascents, painting clear speed heat-zones along the track. It also carries Garmin-style heart-rate and cadence data, so the viewer shows those extra metrics too. It is the default cycling demonstration file.

This route follows real roads and paths in Rolling countryside near Lyon, generated with the BRouter engine over OpenStreetMap data. The timestamps are synthetic, so it is a demonstration file rather than a personal recording. Route geometry © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0.

Common questions

What are the coloured segments on the map?

Speed heat-zones. The track is coloured from slow (cool) to fast (warm) so you can read effort at a glance.

Is this a real route?

The line follows real roads — it is routed over OpenStreetMap data, so it sits on actual streets — but the timestamps are synthetic, so it is a demonstration file rather than a recorded ride.
