You could, you just might not get it.

Good weather here for riding too. I left about an hour early and went to the gym for some strength training before work. This takes me on a different route and I was going to follow this one highway south for a bit. It was backed up with bumper to bumper traffic. I was able to pass on the right for a while, feeling sorry for all the drivers. But then the shoulder narrowed so I turned off for a different route.
