I just tried that route and do not recommend it.
Washington Ave. has a good amount of car traffic on it. South of Sunrise it has a concrete roadbed with blacktop shoulders. The concrete has many patches and is in poor condition. The blacktop shoulders are no better. There is a good 1"-2" difference in height between the two surfaces so going around parked cars can be treacherous. Having to make to jump on the 1" higher concrete with with the difference running parallel to your movement is easy way to crash and the car traffic won't give you a break.
I also traveled at the worst time, 11:00am Sunday and with the 2 churches on the road there was cars everywhere.
Taking Clark past the SOB and wandering through the residential streets is much safer.
