We parked at the ballfields in Bladensburg on the west side of town. Gravel roads were dry, fast and loose. The south end of the route has a loop that can be cut out to make a 32 mile route. This route features 80% gravel roads and a stream crossing at the end. Sunny at the start and the ride ended overcast.
There were only a few dogs on the route and most stayed on their property. We met a group of three inquisitive cows. We also saw the pigs that live domestically in Bladensburg.
We stopped for lunch at a cemetery at the top of the hill. The shade, breeze and conversation were nice.
