Your current blue line is way way too dangerous and unpredictable. I have to ride with similar drivers and so please don't set a "unexpected rider" example. I can't imagine cars racing past you. Traffic is not heavy and at least by 8 to 8:30 traffic is reasonable on that road.



You have 3 valid options:

1- green line, but left enough that you are not in the gravel
2- yellow line, if you are comfortable with crossing the turn lane and with traffic passing you on the right.
3- red line, the alternative on the pedometer link.

The ped link shows two routes as a loop. The lower one should match the green line. The upper one on the neighboring MUP. Usually Brmfd plows the MUP's, but you may have a few ice issues.
