You in Birmingham, Al...if so lets get together some time and ride Oak Mountain in Pelham...It is a great ride. Also Cheaha State Park would also be a good one. Been to both, only rode HT at Oak Mountain.
Kerf.. I don't know where you live (probably a berb of Birmingham USA?) If so, yes we have the same problem here in Calera, 30 miles south. Also the terrain is hilly and curvy where most speed limits are 45 (no way I'll do that) even if traffic is. On occasion I've encountered the guy that wants to pass you not only crossing the double yellow line around a curve but at the same time up a hill. Although it hasn't happened to me but a couple of times, HT's are unusual here, drivers see a bike, and then pull out in front of you as they didn't judge your speed as being say 30MPH. Talking on cell phones, texting, inattention, and drinking STSOOM. I don't ride during high volume traffic hours and I don't ride when the sun might be in a position to hinder a driver...
