can you find this on google street view and provide a link so we can see the road situation for ourselves? The truth is that neither you nor the trooper seem to understand why a group of cyclist may be better off riding 2 abreast rather than single file. So I'm not sure I trust your judgement of the road width. I have done considerable amounts of riding in rural North Carolina, and I can't recall any roads that didn't have substandard lane widths. If the road has substandard lane widths, a car must use the opposite lane to pass, and the best course of action is that the cyclists should double up to make passing easier.
