We took it all the way from Lauderdale west then north to Lake City.  I-95 was worse.  It's always the worst, traffic on it is about as organized as monkeys humping a football.

I-10 is a sleeper of a straight road.  Not much to look at, not many turns.  Pine trees & ditches.

We rode over from Bradenton to Daytona and back on Wednesday the 8th. Man 75 & 4 suck. Jumped off 4 at Lakeland and rode up 33 and 19 through Ocala Forest. That was a nice.

Gotta spend as little time on I-4 as possible, especially anywhere near Orlando!

I'd stay away from I-4 from Longwood (434) all the way to Kirkman Road just south of the Turnpike exit/outlet malls.

Thunder Beach weather today actually sucked (rain in the am, wind and some more rain later in the pm), but it should be perfect through the weekend!

No different than any large metro area.
Sunday mornings ride A1A, great scenery, little congestion. Work your way to the Grove, and then south. If done before noon you should be Ok. Key Biscayne is good early also.

I do love Coconut Grove!  Just don't lose track of time and get caught in rush hour.

That is a good list!  We like Wakulla Springs as a destination for dinner, good restaurant, beautiful spot.  Too many others to mention. We cut through the Ocala National Forest (not a state park) a lot on the way to/from Daytona.  Beach parks along the gulf are also favorite destinations.

Spoke to a LED installation shop in Florida they told me Florida frowns on blue and or red Leds  lighting up a bike. They said you are asking to be pulled over with either color. For what it's worth.
