What's your suggestion to improve it? Is southern CO more interesting than northern NM? Do you prefer TN over MS/AL/GA? If so, why?
The first 1/3rd of the route looks far from boring to me. I did a little bit of riding on the Talimena Scenic Drive in OK/AR that I really enjoyed, which is part of the reason for the way the middle 1/3rd of the route is set up. The southeast may be boring for some, but it's a big difference from where I live, which is part of the appeal of riding there.
