>>1516644I look for wide paved shoulders (google street view is your friend) and bike trails. You cannot ride on highways where bikes are not allowed, of course, usually thise with speed limits over 80 in Leafland.
I made it to the small town mid-way (60km passed, 70 left to destination) and sitting in a coffee shop full of schoolgirls. They are staring at my lycra shorts and make ohmygosh faces. Roads sofar were mostly paved, some hardpack like the pic.
