I'm aware of this and it's one of the main reasons why I wouldn't travel far on a small capacity bike. Also on any long journey, unless you seek it out, there is not a great deal of unpaved road.
Can anyone come up with a route, no matter how convoluted, that would take in most of the worlds 'best biking roads' and unpaved roads whilst keeping the dull bits to, say, no more than 100 miles at a time.

North/ South or S/N on the Continental Divide trail. In northern Canada and Alsaka there's roads like the Top of the World Highway and the roads to Inuvik or Deadhorse.
There's a lot of gravel/dirt if you avoid the PanAm in Mexico (ride some of the Baja1000 routes?)/Central/South Am.
North Africa: Plenty of Dakar race tracks.
Sub-Saharan Africa: Despite Chinese road building there's a lot of dirt/mud/former Colonial pavement.
Australia: The center has very few paved roads e.g. Canning Stock Route.

Forget it... doesnt exist... Or you fly your bike to only this routes... e.g. here in Australia, where we are at the moment, 100 miles you go for shopping without asking... you have to add a 0 to it and then it would maybe work ...
