Ed, if you want to avoid many the weekend walkers, joggers, rollerbladers, kids on bikes, etc. I'd suggest starting at either Floyd Road (mile marker 4.3) or Florence Road (~mile marker 9). Lots of parking at both locations and restrooms and water. The
Silver Comet Depot is at the Floyd Rd parking area should you need bike stuff or bike service.
