From Traskwood Ct. in Potomac Falls, VA, Algonkian Pkwy to Cascade Pkwy. to the W&OD Trail to King St. in Leesburg, Whites Ferry to Poolesville, Hughes Rd. to River Rd. to Seneca Rd. to Esworthy Rd. to Query Mill Rd. to Glen Rd./Democracy Blvd. to Kentsdale Dr. to Bradely Blvd. to Greentree Rd. to Old Georgetown Rd. to Battery Rd./Rosedale Ave. Peggy and I drove to my sisters/parent's house for a big birthday lunch then I took the long way home. Winds (+10mph) from out of the NE were often either cross or headwinds to Poolsville. When they were at my back I flew. Crossing the grain of the drainage from Poolsville to Bethesda kept the pace down. I had stops on the ferry and in Poolsville. I enjoyed the ride, not having done much long like I used to regularly 5 years ago. I never had taken the route from Poolsville to Bradley Rd. this way before and found it very nice; though lacking shoulders. Weight 169.
