Do you guys shy away from highways like this?

Also, it looks like I'm going to have to at least hop onto a few 65 mph roads - and I understand some of those shoulders are chip seal (unrideable) - what about those?

Thanks for thoughts.
That doesn't sound like a whole heck of a lot of fun to me. But I guess it depends are the traffic.

Are you certain there are no back roads? Sometimes they take a lot more planning but worth it.
