So far, Wyoming has had the best shoulders on their highways, both US and State. It’s really quite remarkable. New York has decent shoulders on highways/Routes they designate as cycling Routes. If it’s not a designated route then all bet are off the white line is the edge and beyond that it’s off the road which may be hazardous to one’s long term health. NJ isnt much better and I don’t think they have identified any cycling routes. Virginia and Montana have been the worst in my experiences so far. Hey everyone out there. Be Wyoming. While California may have a lot of urban and intra Urban cycling paths, when it comes to highways, like US 1, seriously lacking along major portions that I have ridden.
Ate the breakfast at the Arbuckle, packed and hit the road by 715. I should have started 6 and gotten breakfast in Moorcroft. I would have beaten the heat and though I am checked into my NPS campsite, it is still hot and I am trying to figure out what to do to stay cool
