we had the same experience a few times, of going to the road that was right nearby and all was fine traffic wise, but other times my wife was happier staying on "the route" so thats what we did.
All in all, the vast majority of it is well thought out, and it is designed for any and all kinds of riders--a lot of folks we saw were retired and there seemed to be all levels of riders, so its good that its set up to make things as least trafficy as possible, and Im sure is part and parcel of attracting all levels of riders so that they have an enjoyable and safe time (which is great from a tourism point of view for the area).
