I like the tranquility of the quieter roads (I used loads of them around Rajasthan), but just to get somewhere, a smooth highway is a pleasure, and some of them are fine roads in their own right. NH76 from Udaipur to Jhansi was smooth, easy cycling. I wouldn't tie myself into following, or avoiding, the highways.<br /><br />Maybe see you on the road!<br /><br />DeanDean Clementsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038645069296685919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521270443102100692.post-10059267977691703222012-03-09T00:09:24.988-08:002012-03-09T00:09:24.988-08:00Have been following you like silent observer and y...Have been following you like silent observer and yes, some of your escapades do bring a smile. As a cyclist, I thought I'd share a tip with you, as follows:<br /><br />Stay away from highways/main roads. I noticed that you followed Google Maps, which only shows the main roads. Whenever you cycle to a place, ask the locals for link roads. These roads are narrow and typically very little traffic. I mean even in a place like Delhi, the link roads will probably see 1 car every 5 to 10 minutes. Link roads are never shown in Google Maps.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />@induspride911<br />travelerscheck.wordpress.comXintelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906130564578250675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521270443102100692.post-72078114081503522062012-01-29T09:46:17.709-08:002012-01-29T09:46:17.709-08:00It looks as though you stayed really close to that...It looks as though you stayed really close to that stunning bridge.
