I still detour to avoid large interstate overpasses or extended pieces of highways. @Steve - I don't know what SAG actually stands for. It's the cars that provide technical support in case of flats, snapped spokes, etc. (In races it's the big entourage of cars behind the peloton). Also, it is the cars that drive the fallen back to camp. I don't know if the guys at the rest stops also fall under SAG. @DJ - One thing I would be uncomfortable about (given that I haven’t done so much of it) is riding on any road.

I have never felt so free as I do when on a long distance bike ride. I've met people on the road who were spending several years on tour. I seemed like heaven to me... www.AdventureCycling.org Have you consider loaded bike touring? I have never felt so free as I do when on a long distance bike ride.
