Does anyone have advice on routes for cycling out of Hanoi, heading south?
Looking at https://www.vietnamcoracle.com/, most of the suggested route maps go West along the CT03 to get out of the city before turning south onto the QL21A. I'm happy to try that way, but it's not really obvious to me why it would be preferable to going directly south – it looks like either way it would take a similar time to get out of the busy urban sprawl and into quieter areas.
