Routes are the old highway system various configurations, open access, go through towns, stop lights and etc. after that local roads. Interstates were the dream of president Eisenhower from his experience in an army convoy movement coast to coast. Great man if he did nothing else. Odd numbers go north and south, even numbers got east and west. I-10 is interstate going east and west, I-35 runs north south.
Famous highways, Rt 41, Rt 66, Rt 1 and there are others.
Correct me gents if I got any of this wrong.

Holy crap, I'm 52 years old and NEVER realized that odd numbers go north and even go horizontal. You learn something new every day!
BTW, I wanted to mention EmptySea's amazing riding dexterity which he demonstrated aptly on this ride. We didn't have a GoPro so he was using his Canon for all the action shots you see in this thread, literally shooting over his shoulder while riding. While this is impressive enough on its own, he would continue to do this even through the twisties! We were all thoroughly impressed.
