    Default WHICH TYPE ROADS WILL YOU TRAVEL TO SPYDERFEST IF IT IS RAINING? MAIN OR SECONDARY.

    I guess there are different ways and reasons for riding the type roads we do..Everyone has a preference and opinion..What type roads will you travel if it is raining fairly heavy?..In my case it would not add that many miles but would add maybe an hour..

    I'll be on the interstate regardless of the weather. I'm like the mail man neither rain nor sleet nor snow will stop me.

    I'm glad you've got roses along the way. It is mostly tumbleweed between here and there.

    For me, it boils down to the choices of the moment. Do I want speed to get through some not so scenic places, or do I want to take in the scenery that is sometimes bypassed by the interstate?

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Main Roads or Interstate I feel safer, but I'll drive secondary if it's faster.

    There isn't a choice for both, depends on how far i'm going. Oops just noticed it said to "Spyderfest", that would be super slab due to time restraints.

    planning on a combo of interstates and back roads

    on day 1, will use mostly interstates/highways to get across and out of Florida - once that is done, will do some back roading and highway

    please let it not be raining, esp not raining hard
