I thought about riding SR56 to US301. But the wind was coming from the west. I started out CLR and the decided on one loop through Flatwoods. I was prepared as I had only one water bottle. But it was cool and Flatwoods has water available. 
They have painted some of the bike lanes where they pass by a right turn lane. Do cars even understand what it means?
I stopped at mile 14 but didn't rest long. It is cold when I have to start again.
