You will spend the vast majority of your time on the Veterans Memorial Highway, which accounts for the longest uninterrupted stretch of 99 miles.

Prepare for a steady, rhythmic pace that requires you to stay alert through the various segments of the journey.
This route has more turning and local-road decision points than a simple highway run.
There are about 8 navigation steps in the underlying route data, so the final approach matters more than the middle miles.
