Southeasterly from Waysons Corner Park & Ride along the service road, to Greenock Road/Route 259, then south on Brooks Woods to Bayfront Rd/Route 258. North on Route 2 to Nutwell, then Nutwell Sudley Rd south to Bayside/Route 258. Swamp Circle Rd took us to Deale-Churchton Rd and the South County Cafe. Followed Deale Road up the hill to Tracys Landing to Route 2, then south to Jewell Rd just to McKendree and north to Bayfront Rd again. West on Bayfront to Fishers Station, carefully cross Route 4, and enter the Pindells, except one rider wanted to ride OVER Route 4 by continuing on Bayfront and then south on So. Md. Blvd. to Upper Pindell. That road and Pindell takes us past Jug Bay to the Route 4 Service Road to get back to the cars.
Weather: Sunny, temps 76-84, humidity averaged 60%, and no wind.
AMS: 12.6 mph
Mishaps: Rick’s bike was shifting gears to smaller cog on its own, so Steve suggested turning the barrel adjuster on the rear derailleur half a turn counterclockwise and that solved the problem.
Report: Ride leaders posted the ride with short notice therefore only the 1 other member came. Our small group had an enjoyable and uneventful ride in southern Anne Arundel County. We sat outside the South County Cafe to eat an early lunch, then zigzagged back to the cars on mostly quiet county roads. Steve did not want to cross the 4 busy lanes of Route 4 at Fishers Station Rd., so he went north to Bristol where he could use the overpass and then come south to Upper Pindell to meet the ride leaders and continue back to the cars.
