I just checked out the WMRT slide show and recognized the cement plant, I've kayaked up that way (if you can call floating downstream and steering kayaking). It's gorgeous up there.
Given the smoooooth paved trail, how do people ride? Crazy? I reckon you've only gone during the week though. I guess that's when I'd go too.

Weekdays on the WMRT are definitely good, but I'll tell you my secret for riding on the weekends: Begin riding 3 hours or so before sunset. At that point, everyone else is starting to think of heading home. You'll deal with some crowds at the beginning of your ride, but after a while it all clears out and you end up with the trail pretty much to yourself
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
