Minuteman bikeway- How long does it take you?

I think the biggest contributor to taking a while is that there is a lot of stopping and starting that kills your momentum.  You can't really cruise through all those intersections and there are a lot of them.  But also, it's not totally flat.  Have you taken a look at the course elevation?

From Arlington Center to Bedford is a little less than 9 miles one way.
Quite a few intersection with major roads where you have to stop and wait for the lights.  In Lexington/Arlington there are many people doing all kids of activities and dogs and cats and squirrels and bunnies you have to be aware of.  Makes times pass a lot quicker.  Though you speed has to suffer with all the stops and slowdowns to avoid hitting others.
