Default Need for Speed (not really)

Anybody have a reason why they either prefer 74 - 80 - 380 - 90 (up thru Cedar Rapids) versus 74 - 80 - 29 - 90 (up thru Sioux City) I've done both myself and there isn't really much different including mileage. Google seems to prefer 380. We rode a lot of two-lane out last year and might just go for speed this year. (or best watering hole selection)

The difference between the two routes is less than 10 minutes - I'd say pick the one that jumps out at you the most. I stick with 80/29 because I have a couple of good spots that I enjoy hitting.
