I rode the route this morning. It was fabulous. Lots of cow and horse pasturess. (sp). Really cool. It has the potential to get really cold in the morning, but it was so nice to ricde and not have cars wizzing by at 50 - 65 mph. The one section that I thought was bad, was't even as bad as the route I have normally taken.
I should have looked at alternate routes sooner. The MUP trail just made it easier to get off the main road. It always pays to look at the route and fine alternatives.
