I'm planning my route for the Russellville trip (can't believe that I waited this long) and am trying to decide to either go north through Asheville and Knoxville or to go south through Atlanta and Birmingham. The south route is 30 minutes shorter of a ride but I know the Asheville is a beautiful trip. What do you all think? I have never been to Atlanta or through it. Just hope that I'm not too late in planning this trip......

The scenic route doesn't have my mama's pecan pie
I probably would ride the mountains if I had that option. But don't let ATL daunt you. I love riding through downtown. I'm always in awe. I mean, yeah, there are a million people on cell phones actively trying to kill me...but it's cool. I'm a country girl, so put me in the big city and I'm always wonderstruck.
I've ridden and driven through Atlanta. The traffic is usually quite busy, and if it is hot, it will be even less enjoyable.

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.

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.
