If you want to go from one Place to another ,you try and go in a straight line like the Romans did. If in a Car you try and go on the Widest safest Road that will bring you in a Straight line to your destination.If traveling by Bicycle you have to pick a route that avoids the Hills and is a quiet Road that will more or less keep you in a straight line to your destination. So follow the Yellow Brick Road,
