Good!
But I still much prefer multilane arterial roads over 2-lane rural.
I prefer the safest route between Eureka and Arcata, which is Highway 101; flat, mostly straight with some gentle curves, an 8' colored shoulder, and rumble strips. The only issue is the 7 turn-offs, where I pay extra special attention, and make heavy use of my side mirror.
