Just to start this spot, on my March trip to Florida there was one <100 mile stretch of 4 lane to avoid on your route planning: Hwy 280 South from Childersburg to Opeilika/Auburn

This highway, use by AU football fans is one of the notorious highways "always under construction". The shoulder would be good/then chipped glass bad.
This was the beginning of the search for the "indestructible rear tire", because a gash at the beginning of the stretch, and the only bikeshop 80 miles "yonderways", I learned a lot about tires/tubes and made in China peices of crap pumps.
The warning about this stretch is void IF you build your own "ind.rear.tr".
