Having to make to jump on the 1" higher concrete with with the difference running parallel to your movement is easy way to crash and the car traffic won't give you a break.
I also traveled at the worst time, 11:00am Sunday and with the 2 churches on the road there was cars everywhere.
Taking Clark past the SOB and wandering through the residential streets is much safer.
Yeah, I could definitely see that being a problem. I live on Washington, so I guess I'm just used to it. But that Neptune Ave into Cedar Creek Park is huge. Maybe Clarke to Seaman's Neck Road southbound instead of Washington may be a better bet. There's still a decent amount of traffic, but it's a wider, newer road, with only residences along it's length.
