By all means,ride the ride. It is nice to know where the road work is so ya can changed the route for a better and safer ride. When we went to Yellowstone and Glacier National parks we changed out route threw Idaho to Utah. Hwy 15 near Idaho falls had about 30-40 miles of Chip and seal road work at 35 mph, changeing of our route to hwy 89 all the way to Yellowstone was much nicer,safer and quicker.
