NATIONAL HIGHWAY 40

[HONDO]

DOES ANYONE HAVE INFO ON OLD NATIONAL HIGHWAY 40 AS FAR AS IT BEING A GOOD CROSS COUNTRY ROUTE VS. THE TRANSAM OR THE OTHER ACA ROUTES. WHAT LOOKS GOOD ON A MAP MAY NOT BE GOOD ON A BIKE. THANKS.

The main problem with old US highways is that they were laid out in pre-freeway days and go right through the middle (right in front of city hall) of every town and city on the route. Also I think you'll find that US40 disappears (is usurped by interstates) for various stretches. Still, it would be an interesting trip. I have actually considered doing it myself.
