B&A to Annapolis

[jrenaut]

Not a problem at all. I’ve done Annapolis out across the bridge, up the trail, and then back. I highly recommend bombing down the hill right before the bridge and hoping for a green light.

There’s a nice wide shoulder most of the way, and if you turn left at the first light past the bridge, it’ll take you straight downtown.

I didn’t think I could find the Strava route I took but then I did.

I will warn you that pedestrians on the trail are more like Gravely Point gawkers than those out for exercise on the W&OD – give them extra time to react and expect cluelessness.

Thanks! This helps a lot. Now, I only need to worry about the weather.

That I can’t help you with.

Just a quick update, this was a great ride! I managed to get us lost so we started at Marley Station Mall instead of Friendship Park, but still had a delightful 11-or-so miles along the trail before the hustle up and over the Severn River Bridge. You were right, JRenaut, about catching the green light on the way back…gravity is my ally. All-in-all, a wonderful ride (with pretty good weather to boot).
