Inya, That is why I use 565, 145, and 564 on my return to Caldwell/I-77... North of these roads on 260 is really nothing missed in my opinion...A bit longer mileage wise but better riding than that stretch of 78...564 is not great, nor to challenging, but I hear you can really haul ass and make some time on that road, little traffic, and I have never seen a LEO on that road, as compared to 78 which both scenario's does exist quite often. P.S. Sorry I didn't chime in, because you did ask, about 564 on your last ride and/or route... I don't like to intervene on other peoples routes they choose, unless there is a hazard, detour, or danger I know about in their chosen path.
