I had an insanely long running workflow to verify that this logic work and then sort of stumbled into the right answer by accident. 18.7m away in 41 seconds. Happy with that

Loved this one! Went through a few iterations and tweaks before managing a <2min <50m answer.

Great fun!

Please find my solution. I used only road in Colorado Input, no Colorado shape.
