Recap: Bladensburg North 45

Quick recap: 45 miles. 3750 feet of climbing. 3 cyclists. It was humid and hot the whole day. We stopped at the Bridge of Dreams to eat lunch. We helped two snakes move off the road, saw some turtles, including a sad crushed turtle on the trail, and a farm with a lot of loud peacocks. Route is really nice with a nice mix of gravel roads through Amish farms and quiet country roads. Beautiful vistas abound. Parking is available at the ballfields on the west side of town.

Route note - The website lists the route as Bladensburg North 45, but the Ride With GPS file name is OGG mikes route - Bladensburg.
