Hunter Mill Road is pretty bad.  Only two lanes but very limited sight lines for both bikers and motorists, so cars fly through rarely stopping, while bikers make hard stops.

As an Oaktonian, I'm thoroughly disgusted by how motorists act at that crossing. Few slow down, and I regularly get cars riding up my ass when I do slow down approaching the crossing. Screw 'em.

Of course, just crossing the road to check my mail is dangerous with the way idiots drive around here. Oh, pedestrian crossing a "country" road? I'll continue doing 45 mph holding my cell phone.

Sounds like a nice ride, though.
