Puzzle #108: White to Play; Best Move

Hello, all!

This week's puzzle is from a board state sent to me by nqeron and fits in nicely, since it is kind of the reverse of last week's, except the situation is not quite as dire. What would you do in this scenario as White to defend against Black's road threat? How do you see Black responding? You can take this out 1 move or a dozen; whatever you are in the mood for.

For those new to my puzzles, I try my best to post one every Saturday night (EST) and answer responses on Sunday morning. They are usually one of the following types: Tinue (game ending via forced road), Tinue Avoidance (is there a way out?), Gaelet (game ending via flat count), and Best Move (what would you do, and why?).

Please form your answer with PTN or a link to your solution via ptn.ninja. Also, be sure to use the spoiler tag so as not to ruin it for later puzzle solvers.

** I have noticed some people commenting directly to my blog post when answering puzzles. I would kindly ask that you post your answers on the appropriate post on the Reddit page for Tak (r/tak). This will make it easier for me to respond in a timely manner. On that note, I would like to also apologize to those same people for my delayed replies.
