On the way home from church this AM I stumbled across a particularly entertaining route. I have no doubt members of CTR and TRAC already know about this drive but again, if one’s visiting the area, it’s one of a number of opportunities to get out in your Triumph (or whatever) and have a good time.

From US 301 between Bowie and Waldorf, head east on MD 214/Central Ave towards Annapolis. After crossing the Patuxent River, turn right onto (appropriately) Patuxent River Rd and settle in for about six miles of twisties with some elevation changes. The road works south for a ways, then turns due east as Harwood Rd. Eventually Harwood turns back towards the south prior to ending at MD 2/Solomons Island Rd…which, conveniently, is the road south to the locale of this coming year’s TRA National Meet (on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/TRA2015).

Speed limit’s mostly posted as 35 but 40’s doable, the road surface is great as is the scenery, just watch for bikes, oncoming traffic and a few one-lane bridges. This one’s great fun.
