I was watching a you tube video of a British fellow riding the Trans American Route. He was giving up on it because of the traffic and near misses. He is talking about the Bike Non Stop Route.
Anyone familiar with it?

The description above suggests that the Trans Am Bike Nonstop approach is to give a set of checkpoints to pass but the specifics of the route are up to the rider to pick.

Is he talking about one specific set of choices - either his or someone else?

Not so far. He made mention of this route as an alternative as he was quite concerned about the near misses.

Regardless of the route's name, the traffic and cycling infrastructure in North America is horrific. I would rather spend a few extra hours on a plane and cycling in a more accommodating place. Presently, in the South of France, it's been amazing, and even on a busier connector road, the drivers have been very respectful.

For the benefit of any possible newbies, this is not about ACA’s TransAm route.

Agreed, this is an endurance race where there is an incentive to pick routes that get you between the checkpoints as quickly as possible including as many hours in the saddle, the most direct routes and the quickest speeds.

That undoubtedly affects the types of roads and the time of day you are riding them...
