Almost all the way, there was a wide shoulder to ride on but it left no time for day dreaming. Constant oncoming traffic on the shoulder which was especially dangerous passing the countless parked vehicles where suddenly somebody popped out in front of me. The road was often worse than the shoulder so I also encountered lots of vehicles permanently driving the shoulder going around me and back on the shoulder – it takes little effort to imagine what could happen with only a split second’s lack of attention.
