Hey, Don
My brother in law and I made pretty much the same trip two weeks ago. The weather was nice down and back. No rain at all. The only problem was the heat from Charlotte to Clearwater - New Port Richey area.
The only bad road was on RT 26 W on the way home. They have that side of the road milled down for a new surface. It wouldn't have been too bad on 26, but between the rough surface and the 115 degree heat index it started to get on my nerves after a while.
The RSV ran and road great down and back without hiccup. I was actually a little disappointed when getting closer to home that the ride was almost over. Total miles on the trip was around 2,300 miles.
Have a safe ride, Don
