Location

In someone's back yard near Washington Grove, Maryland

Participants

OfficeLinebacker

Plans

To ride my bike there and back. About 15 miles total, no big deal.

Expedition

I mounted my trusty steed and set out. The way took me through the picturesque town of Washington Grove and a MARC station I accidentally got off at a few weeks ago. I proceeded to the address and leaned my bike against a lamp post. The hash point itself was in a fenced-in back yard with a very high fence and a really well landscaped back yard. I got to within 49 feet and took a pic.

I rode back via a slightly different route. I great a workout and it was fun.
