Fun adventure route that combines dirt trails on west side of Severn River (Waterworks, Bacon Ridge, Severn Run, and Kinder Farm Park) and B&A Trail (paved path) on other side down the Broadneck Peninsula. Travels over the Naval Academy Bridge and through downtown Annapolis. Park either at downtown Annapolis to enjoy post ride beverages and food, or at one of the parking lots at the numerous parks included along the route.

Please note that this is a mixed surface ride and includes significant portions of pavement, with an emphasis on using paved rail trails and bike paths when dirt surfaces are not available.
