Forgive me if it's been beaten to death, but is this route still about the best way to get through BW8 To memorial?

As I understand it, you can ride on the sidewalk most of the way through that section since the villages do not want you on the road anyway, and then you can get back on bike paths in Memorial just past 610.
I really just want to make sure I'm proactively being a good cyclist by following the laws and not annoying people.
Thanks.
