    I've never felt the need for CC on a bike, though I suppose it would reduce right hand/wrist fatigue somewhat. If you're using CC watch out for trucks - 80 is one of the most heavily used truck routes in the nation. Easy to come over a hill at 85 and find a slow truck in the left lane trying to pass a slower truck in the right lane.

    It's the monotony that's the worst. The monotony and the wind, always the wind.

    I hate I-80 just because of the large volume of trucks. Might be easier to navigate them on a bike but I can?t tell you how many times I?ve traveled for ten miles as truck A is going 64.5 mph passing truck B who is going 64 mph. And this in in an 80 mph zone.

    That's what the shoulder is for.
