I think it all depends on conditions, whether you can see, how many people are on the trail etc, here you can go fast and still see plenty far enough ahead to slow down when needed, it's pretty much line of sight, once you get past the four lane, it makes a right turn and it's just plain asphalt for almost 4 miles, and almost never used by anyone, all running beside the four lane, no trees, just all open almost everyone uses the sections befor, going back into town.
