For the occasions I'm able to curb my impatience, though, there are sore really excellent MUPs in my area. But they're so heavily used - especially on weekends - that you can't do much more than 10 mph.
Feel ya.
Right now the new and gorgeous MUPs in my area are pretty empty. However, on the last nice day in November I was checking it out and had to dodge dogs on 50' leashes, turbocharched baby strollers, clueless toddlers, and male-pattern blinding from the bouncy babes in their sports bras. Scariest thing I've ever done.
