To ride, it's a lot of start and stop. Probably 14mi of it is on MUPs, but a good bit of those MUPs are in residential, so it's slower going.
I'm a bit envious of that. I have the option of ending my commute to work on a MUP that's only about 2.5-km long, and whenever I get on it it's, phew! such a relief. But I count myself lucky to be able to take several routes that do not require me to stay on any main thoroughfare for an extended period of time. Side roads and residential streets where the speed limit is 50 km/h or less is the way for me.
