Manokeek 55

Sun, October 16, 2016 9:00 AM | Linda Bankerd

Leader: Sherwood Byers and Linda Bankerd

Members: Darryl Lowery, Tom Short, Janell Saunders, Majesta Hartley, Ken Meredith, Diane Harris, Chris Fairhall, Theresa Rowell

Report:  This was a 55 mile route heading out on Accokeek and Gardner to Waldorf, then south and east on La Plata, with a few encounters with Route 5, to access Oliver Shop and Gallant Green, heading back on Poplar Hill, Cedarville and McKendree.  There were a few new roads, some better than others, one that did not go through as suggested on Google Maps.  It was good;  tweaks will make it better.  The insufferable chlorophyll green is fading, giving way to softer,  more neutral tones.  Some consolation for the waning of summer. Our group of 10 or so stayed together for most of the time making for a very pleasant day.

 AMS: We averaged between 15 and 16 mph, a true B pace
