Report: a leisurely route for trail riders with only the one hill on the return after High Point Rd. We rode as a group for the entire trip; surprisingly, we did not see any other cyclists on the trail but there was a steady stream going both ways on High Point Rd. Three plus ospreys were active near the visitor's center and over Belmont Bay. When we went behind the visitor's center at Gunston Hall for the view of the house, we encountered club members Joan Oppel and Jessica Hirschhorn. They were riding the full 28 mile Mason Neck route.
