Within 15% of the published length Beyond 15%: the record must say why

OSM relation 3094865 gives 269.9 km in 1 part, +1.5% over 266 km: the whole loop. The TRTA ArcGIS layer was dropped: its Main Trail geometry is truncated (3 of 8 segments measure far below their Length_Mi). TRTA access and spur sections stay in alternates.geojson.
