As noted, I rode it in 2013. My friend rode it this fall. Going west to east, I started out in the westbound lanes, as they were in better condition. At some point, I switched over to the eastbound lanes. I was riding 32c tires, but I was fully loaded with camping and cooking gear. My friend rode his carbon Fuji as he was traveling light and moteling it. Probably with 25c tires. He enjoyed it a lot.
I doubt the Pike 2 Bike project will be going anywhere anytime soon.
