Just as a cautionary note.  Rode Twin Oaks between Craven and Barham on the east side(School side) twice in 10 days.  A mile further down the road I flatted due to very fine pin holes.  Thorns in the street in area described. Apparently there is a sticker patch growing along the school fence row. They drift into the bike lane. Small enough not to notice while streaking by...Second trip they had just mown and i saw what looked like large grass clippings....took the car lane, but too late.  Three co2 cartridges and a thumb to get home....Ride at your own risk
