I joined about 20 riders from DC Randonneurs today for the Prospect Point Populaire, a very punchy 127km across central Maryland near Frederick. The day started cloudy but humid. The sun came out about 1.5 hours into the ride after we crossed over the first mountain near Gapland (cool monument there). We passed through parts of the Antietam battlefield and saw some great bucolic farmland. On the way back we dipped down to the Potomac River and rode along a stretch of the C&O Canal. While I’m not used to the heat and humidity, overall it was a great ride, and I’m glad I wasn’t wiped out for the 5 hour drive home. I am grateful for the warm welcome from the DC Rando crew.
