I hope someone will chime in on this one and give up some good info.

I am in Jax FL. So far the best info I have is the ride from here down along the beach to St Augustine RT A1A. It is a nice early morning ride, but the traffic tends to be heavy later in the day.

95 is just a dull hot straight run from here to forever(north or south), pine trees and palmetto.

Hopefully in a few weeks I will have something better to add.

see ya

Mike

I like to ride down US13 South (San Jose) down past the Outback Crab Shack. I take it down to CR 207. Turn right and ride into Palatka and come back up US17 North. Or turn left on CR 207 and head into St. Augustine. You will also cross under I-95 if you're done and ready to head home. I live in Fleming Island so I pickup US13 south of the congested area. You can get onto San Jose off I-295.
