A big thanks to Brian and Brett for the route suggestions, and an even bigger thanks to Brett for riding with me on my first commute in 6 months last Thursday, pointing out the landmarks, helping repair my flats, lending the spare tube and patch kit, etc. It made BTWD possible for me. I have an extra spare for you the next time I see you. I’m hoping I can do round 2 next week!
Heading to Laurel Lake / Granville Gude involved two awful crossings of MD 198 on 4th and 5th streets, and I took Brett’s suggestion and crossed at Van Deusen near Sandy Spring Rd. It looks like I can loop down to the river trail near the pool, and take that to my office. If anyone were to need to bike to Laurel MARC station that would also be a good route.
