I'd ride that stretch without much thought. Take a third of the lane, obey traffic laws, and generally act like a car. It's the legal and safest way to ride, imo. Try not to make motorists guess what you're doing, just like I expect from them. I've found that's where problems come in, when you (or a driver) do something unexpected.

Have fun. That's a LOT different terrain than where I zip around in my cold, gray, urban environment

Pretty cool signs.
