The slow down at intersections is not all bad. Gives opportunity to accelerate and sprint. I do not like road biking. Too many of my friends got hit and it takes only one hit for life to be ruined. I bike on trails and park roads without a single close call.
But, yes, I have to stop or slow down at intersections.
Well, then you understand the limitations. The Withalacoochie trail is an excellent trail and Inverness is a lovely little town. Also, if you are willing to take a short drive, you can go down and do the Van Fleet Trail. The Van Fleet Trail is incredibly boring but it has some long parts that are not interrupted and you could get up to high speed on.
