Baptist is a great road except on the weekend when the weather is nice and people want to take their boat out. That being a boat entry means that road can be busy basically only with boaters on weekends when the park is open. I've seen a good friend get fillet'd by the boat trailer being pulled by a suburban about 8 years ago by Jordan Lake. The driver didn't recognize just how much more his trailer was wider than his big suburban pulling the trailer (sighs)

(Baptist is a great road to ride except during boating season which is prominent on weekends in spring and summer). When IOS had the Raleigh store, I led a group ride that rode from the store to Baptist Rd and back. Love that area to train in, but damn even that area has had some bad interactions over the last 2 years.
