ROC, it is about 40km around Shimoga which is pathetic and also Honnavar - Gokarna is a pain too.
If you plan via Shimoga then try JogFalls - Siddapur - Sirsi route as suggested by Ravibhat. THen the Sirsi - Mirjan - Gokarna route. But that will take time. Kaushik drove the same route few days back...
Still, I suggest you to take the NH4 and then haveri - Sirsi route...It would be faster for Gokarna...Start early at 4AM, you should be in Gokarna at 10-11AM...Read my Goa travelogue for details (road conditions are pretty much the same as that trip)
