love the discussion. I definitely unplug on the road. I stop and talk to locals and get good tips. I do like to plan ahead and memorize as much as I can. I just really hate when the route I pick sucks. A few week ago I rode up to Hawk's Nest on the Delaware river in New York State. The way I went had lots of lights and traffic. Turns out there is a much better way. There always is right. I just need to vet better ahead of time. I was bothered I did the ride the right better way 2 weeks later. If you're in the area, you can't beat riding along the river anywhere from Trenton all the way up to the Catskills.
