We are heading to Gatlinburg Tenn for a couple of days in the end of April. Then heading to Tampa Fla. Would like to know some nice roads in Ga. to ride on our way jto Tampa Fla.. We will be staying in Tenn untill we hit Ga.


Thanks

The areas in NE Alabama are good riding, and the Barber museum is there too for a nice rest and viewing while you're not riding. Watch out for ATL...good people but drivers are aggressive.

 

US 41 used to be the only road(before interstates)--that would be a trip!!!

 

US 129 would run you most all the way down.

 

Follow Hwy 441 south out of Cherokee NC all
the way to Lake City FL.Nice ride.Good road.
Keeps you out of larger cities.

 

guys thanks for all the info.

 

I live very near 41, northwest of ATL, and unfortunately, once you get south of Cartersville, GA it becomes endless stoplights and traffic. I recommend that you avoid ATL completely. I would steer towards the Dragon and then down through North Georgia staying out of Atlanta. Be safe and have fun!

 

Thats why we use 441,nowhere near the traffic & congestion of 41.
441 is the way we go to FL every year.You got a little traffic around
Athens,GA,but it's nothing major.Enjoy the ride.

 

Ditto on 441. Thats the way I ride down to Florida as well. I now live in North Georiga,but my family is still in Sarasota/Tampa area and my wifes family is in Ft.Myers/Ormond Beach. I'm heading that way in May and was down for Bikeweek. Stay away from ATL.

 

Leadman, thanks for the tip. I rode to Key West, and used I-75 all the way down to South Florida, and next time, I'll hop over to 441. How is 441 as you get further down into Florida?
