from Fayette instead of Lombard.

Subject to last minute changes, of course, here's the route:

Baldwin Mill Rd? Really?

From my last remembrances of that road, closer towards Towson it's two lanes with not much of a shoulder, some traffic--heavier the closer you get to rush hour and has guard rails to box one in (but not fall into the storm drainage area) during some portions of the road. It's do-able, but not very good for relatively new riders who haven't acquired steely nerves.

The alternative could be to pick up Greene Rd to Sweet Air Rd. Greene is much quieter/calmer than Baldwin Mill.
