It's hairy enough just crossing it.
I usually refuse to, but I was eager enough to get to the flatter areas on the other side of 15... We crossed over, and I think took Monacocy and found that it ended up on 26 by the Walmart & the Bike escape... I was not going to ride on that section of 26... So went back to 15 & headed up it a couple miles (?) to get to Biggs Ford Rd... Found the lime Kiln/quarry/nature reserve area, and Walkersville.

The shoulder on 15 is wide enough that it's not that bad, and it is a designated bike path - the teenagers in a little vw golf that decided to honk, swerve toward, and stretch their arms out the window while screaming weren't too amusing, however.

I did once wheel my bike 7 miles down 15 after it broke and I couldn't fix it, it was dark, and it was the quickest way home.
