Planned route - Leg 1, The journey begins

They say you’ll get the longest mileage in on the first day of a long trip. With that in mind, I plan to put in a little over 750 km or 8.75 hr. of actual ride time on the first leg.

The accompanying map shows the route I plan to take with rest and meal stops indicated. This breaks the journey up into segments 1 to 1.5 hours in length which should give me plenty of stretch time, not counting photo stops along the way.

As the map indicates, with my little jog down through Princeton, I'm not planning to take the most direct route. As great as it would be to simply allow the road to take me where it may, I'll have to find a balance between free will and getting to my first planned destination in two days.
