[QUOTE="tcfjr, post: 1167431, member: 685"] I've played around with a similar route for a B2Bi attempt, and the one change I'd consider is swapping the long I-15 portion through Utah with US-93/NV-318 from Las Vegas to Twin Falls. Cons: this adds about 20 miles to the total route; I-15 through Utah is posted 75 and 80 anyway; the traffic through SLC isn't bad except during commute hours. Pros: You can ride somewhat faster than the posted limits through much of central Nevada; it makes the ride more 50/50 rural highway to interstate. There's plenty of 24-hour gas stops along US-93, so that's a wash, but rural riding is less relaxed than interstates, so fatigue over a 24-hour riding day can add up. [/QUOTE]
