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.
hmm... I might agree with NR here. Using Greene is an easy detour although it does not take away too much of Baldwin. I wouldn't worry too much about the upper sections.
BTW when are you leaving Columbia? I have mondays off and might be able to give a personal escort into town.
