Ayup. My direct route to work is 3.5(ish) miles, but that's either on busy arterial/side streets or on sidewalks. I don't like either option so I take either of two 7 mile routes that are MUCH better. 90% of the 7 mile route #2 is MUP, the other 7 mile route is lightly traveled - before 7am - streets. If I leave after 7am I take the MUP route.

I also have a 5 mile route that I only take if I'm running late, as it's on some really rough side streets. In a pinch it works, but I prefer the other routes.
