oldbiker, you really shouldn't rate a ride you haven't rode. I have ridden all of this route and can say it is abover average for this area. US 441 in Ga.& Fl. good route. US 27 good. US 1 through the keys is listed as a "National Byway" and one of the most scenic roads in the U.S.!! Need I say more! There is not much that is more beautiful than headeding out across the keys at sunrise!! I have made the trip south on US 1 at sunrise only to return at sunset!!

Did this route June/July.
Only heat we experienced was upon returning into Miami. After having driven down from Canada to Key West, US 1 was the highlight of the trip. I did not find any undue stoppages for traffic lights. (sometime welcomed so you could put your feet down and stand)
The scenery and people we met/talked to were first rate.
Cant wait to run this one again.

We only rode from Miami to Key west. Route 1 out to the keys is slow, hot and boring. Not a lot of places to pull over for photos. The traffic was also terrible due to the many red lights. The ride from Miami to Key west took us over 3 hot hours. You just get going and have to stop for a red light.
Once we got out to Key West we had a great time. Super bar at the pool at the Hampton inn.Would not reccomend this ride in June, July or August.
