Interstate or "shortcuts"?
We all know that interstates are not perfectly straight. In fact, I don't know of many roads that are. I had originally planned to do my trip on the interstate, but the only reason to ride on the interstate is because the speed limit is higher and an exit every so often to resupply at. Since the speed limit does not apply to me because obviously I can't go 50+ mph on a bike, would it be wiser to get off and on other city and county roads then back on the interstate whenever needed. Theoretically, this would make the trip shorter because there would be less distance to cover. Also, if I were to ride on the interstate the whole way then would it be a good idea to sleep in the emergency lane? Who would honestly stop in the emergency lane to mess with me while I was sleeping? That's one of my biggest worries, being messed with while I was sleeping. Any ideas guys?
