Travelling from North Port FL to Daytona. Best bike route. No big hurry.

Might want to post this in the Florida Crew Section lot of wizards in there for this run .. I am North FL now, but would think start out on 17 and slowly work your way east to maybe 27 then to 40 ..

I would grab 17 to Arcadia and jet 70 over to 95 and then North. (or 441 if you like isolation) I used to live over there and last time I took this route to the East Coast it was not a bad trip. I do remember that 70 was a speed trap esp. by Lake O.. If you hit the Space Coast around lunchtime I can tell you some great spots to break bread....
