This is about the straightest scenic byway I have ever ridden. Which unfortunately made it incredibly boring. I would have preferred staying on 85 and saving the time. The route is well paved, mostly tree lined. A few places with scenic interest, and it feels like there are too many stretches that are as straight as a ruler. Saw one cop, speed limit seemed to be 55 most of the way. Few stop lights and signs. Went all the way to FairPlay, and if I had it to do over I would not take that route again. If you area headed from charlotte to atlanta, skip it. If you are looking for mountain roads and scenery, almost any of the roads heading north will be better. If you like gentle rolling hills, and plan on stopping a lot, there may still be a reason for taking this route. I just wish there were even a few more gentle curves...
