Here is the thought process I used to build this ride:
* Avoid riding into the sun as much as possible
* Steer clear of major cities during peak times (understanding it's Saturday)
* Maximize highway use, minimizing toll's (I wasn't able to completely eliminate them however)
* Not backtracking roads
* Major stops be where 24h gas stations are located
Total Miles from MapQuest: 1074.72 taking 19.32 hours (without stops).
I'm really comfortable with this route. The only questionable part for me is the run from Mount Morris to Champlain. It's not a highway, but a state route. There are no big cities and from what I can see it is pretty clear from a traffic perspective. That is the longest stretch of the ride.
