This slightly changed route is the way I take from school in Wilmington back home to Newark. The roads are a little bigger my way but they are MUCH less hilly once you get out of Wilmington. Your route through Brandywine Springs park is actually one of the steeper hills around here. Theres a couple sketch sections without shoulders on this route I mapped you but they aren't too bad.
