Smile Cincinnati to Tybee Island Route Questions

Hello all, I am planning a ride from Cincinnati to Tybee Island GA. If I choose not to do Hwy 75 , I can either take Hwy 25 or the more east rt on Hwy 23. I am looking for your thoughts on those two RTs, It looks like I get some mountain riding both ways , but I am curious if one rt is better overall. Thanks for your time and input.

Well, you didn't say how long you have? If you have all the time in the world, then I would take back roads all the way there and back. With time restraints, super slab all the way.

Yeah HDriderDave, unfortunately I am limited to 10 days round trip. Pretty much thinking heading towards Smokies , ride a road or two and head on to GA. Then may try and do Blue Ridge coming back.

Ok Purplehaze1 sounds good 10 days. You best time would most like be in the smokies and then at Tybee Island. I would take super slab to Gatlinburg then over to Cherokee. I would spend a couple days or so in Maggie Valley riding around. Don't forget the Wheels thru Time while there. Take 23 south to 123/17, 17 all the way to Washington, GA and pick up 78 to Thompson where the road is 17 again. At Wrens 221/17 to Louisville still 17 to Millen 25 S. to 80 into Savannah. Plenty of things to see in do there and Tybee Island. Be sure to go down on East River street food and drink
