first i thought i stay on side roads, but then the perspective of headwinds and rolling hills made me change and get on the highway. nice scenic stretch, wide shoulder, less hills….  the traffic on the side roads with narrow shoulder are almost the same speed as on the highway so it was surprisingly enjoyable biking!? that way i saw some really impressive horsebackriding-skills of a gaucho.
