We've discovered someone's great decision to utilize the path cleared for the "electric avenue" of powerlines... The WB&A Trail!
This paved trail takes you from backyards to alongside low traffic roads, paralleling a railway that connects D.C. to Baltimore. We're looking forward to revisiting this trail in the near future for a longer multi-city ride.
En route to the WB&A, we visited the Patuxent Wildlife Research Refuge. We were pleasantly surprised to discover an oasis of quiet wooded areas with several trails (for foot traffic only) and a great interactive visitor center. We'll definitely be going back.
While this trip was relatively short with little elevation change, we're gearing up for some long rides, including a route around Sugarloaf Mountain. We'll let you know how we fare on the rolling hills!
I am so going to have to check this out!
