Event: QOC PWF Happyland Night-O
 

To the Happyland Campground in Prince William Forest, from the field parking lot near the paved road.

QOC: Prince William Forest (PWF) - Bad night for me. Complicated by unmapped green but I made some of my own errors thinking I was going to #7 for #5 and leaving the road too early for #8. I also misread #11. I was out field checking 4 1/2 hours earlier so I was tired. Both of my knees and my back were hurting by the end.

From Northfield Rd., to Grant St., to McKinley St., to the Old Georgetown Rd., to the Bethesda Trolley Trail, to Maple Ridge Rd., to Park Ln., Custer Rd., to Lambert Rd., to Moorland Ln. to Northfield Rd. I didn't have much time before dinner but I used it well, walking fast. It was drizzling rain and cool outside. I got home just as dinner arrived.

From Northfield Rd., Custer Rd. to Park Ln. to Battery Ln. to Woodmont Ave., to Wisconsin Ave., to Jones Bridge Rd. to Kensington Pkwy. to Beach Dr., to Grosvenor Rd., to Fleming Ave., to the Bethesda Trolley Trail, to Old Georgetown Rd., to Huntington Pkwy., to Custer Rd., to Northfield Rd. I squeezed in a short ride before dinner. I hit a lot of stop lights going out. My knee didn't hurt much on this though I did feel it. A fast cycling training group was resting in Rock Creek Park at a traffic light. I went past them when the light changed. They caught me about a mile later. I felt pretty slow on hills. There were a few potholes and I hit one on Jones Bridge Rd. while looking backwards to change lanes. Fortunately I didn't go down.
