In mid-April, to pick up where we left off the last time on
the W&OD Trail, we drove the bikes to Herndon, then biked just a short
section of the W&OD before turning right on the Sugarland Trail. I’d spotted this one while browsing the area’s
bike route maps online. The old paved
path meanders along, and through, a stream for several miles, and is highlighted by a number
of small signs identifying the native tree species, a nice bonus. We left Sugarland and soon found the town’s small
historic district next to the W&OD, as well as a great little deli for
lunch and a bakery next door. A nearby parking lot must have been a pretty big deal, commemorated as it is by bronze plaque on a rock. We continued west on the
main trail a couple of miles before u-turning it back to the truck.
