If you are in Kendall take SW 88th Street west to Krome Ave. (997). Take Krome south to US 1 in Florida City and stay on US 1 to Key West. On your way home pickup Card Sound Road at MM 106 in Key Largo, stop at Alabama Jack’s for lunch.
You might want to think about staying in Marathon, it’s 50 miles or so to Key West but you did come south to ride. You can get an OK motel for about half of what you will pay in Cayo Crazy. If you must spend time drinking too much in Key West you should still consider staying further up the Keys your last couple of days. Key West is not a good place to ride a bike, there is more per capita head trauma in Key West than any other city in the U.S.
Beware of speed traps on the Jew Fish Creek Bridge, the south side of Marathon and on the Bahia Honda Bridge; all are active more than 50% of the time.
Do not drink and drive, the cops are very serious about, “come on vacation, leave on probation.”
FYI, the photograph you see at the top of this is the Seven Mile Bridge just after sunrise. I took it from a helicopter a few years ago. In the 2 ž years I have had my Street Glide at least half of its 70,000 + miles were put on between Marathon and Key West. I still enjoy the ride.
