Very low traffic at most times of the day. Plenty of places to stop for a break and view, open fields and forested areas. Road can get narrow so choose a good place to let larger vehicles pass. Don't hug the kerb, some nutter drivers overtake on blind bends and I've had a few near misses where the driver has sharply pulled in after seeing an oncoming vehicle almost cutting me off. Ride defensively on blind corners and take/own your lane with consideration.
