On the MUPs here in Fort Worth, you might be able to cruise at a good clip for stretches, but there are other users out there, bikes, pedestrians, dog walkers, joggers that you will overtake eventually and some of them are quite clueless about staying out of the way of a fast rider. They may not even know you're out there until you're on top of them and they've ambled into your path.
