Riding through Atlanta - how is it

[seadog]

Its a train wreck, and if you hit it at rush hour it a train wreck with a 50 car crash! Take the scenic route.

Simple answer here,

Get Teach to run some of that pecan pie to you up in the northern reaches, then you can have "scenic" and "pie".

Save me a piece.

Wikipedia.......
It is eight to 12 lanes wide, with the northern part from I-75 to Georgia 400 to I-85 the most heavily traveled. One segment of the highway near Spaghetti Junction (a large, flyover highway interchange northeast of Atlanta) with Interstate 85 widens to 18 lanes, including collector-distributor lanes. Exits are numbered clockwise, starting at the southwestern-most point at I-85, and ending just east of there where it meets I-85 again near Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.

YUP!!!!!! If you hit is between breakfast,lunch or dinner you should be OK. Bring your A game and ride aggressive to make it thru!!!

beware, the HOV lane is no longer. ATL has opted to make that a toll lane. So no left lane bandits for me, but I've ran ATL many times, it's not bad, good news, if everyone else is cruising at 90, you'll get through in no time. btw, do not take the loop around, it takes you way out and returns, adding 20 miles to your trip. Run right through downtown, between 10AM and 3 you'll be fine.

Just went thru Atlanta on Saturday and the HOV lane was unchanged. Did not see any indication of a toll lane.
