Planning brief

Derived from each route's recorded surface, not from a bike review.
Every planner route here is graded Confident or Expert. Newer riders should treat this destination as a stretch, or pick a gentler base.
The archived BRouter files contain elevation values from a layer that is not cleared for commercial publication. The repair is to preserve the OSM-routed geometry, replace every elevation sample with NASADEM data, recalculate ascent and timing, and publish only after automated provenance and regression checks pass.
