In fairness the route was a couple of years in the planning. Too much for one person so the likes of Liam Glen and Katherine Moore (and me!) helped recce some of it.
Not sure what the intended split for road/dirt was at the start of planning but as @Nikk says, some of the road sections provide a bit of relief or they have to strike a balance in terms of progress and time. Others are pretty special in themselves.

It looks like a pretty slapdash route, loads of long tarmac stretches and misses out on some real lovely off-road biking. Much better ones to tour on
