Muddy Shoes Summer Trail Series – Run #9
Meadowside-Kengla-Lake Frank
Hey Trail Goobers,
Are you ready to hit some muddy MoCo single-track? We have a sweeeeet run planned on Saturday that will take you on some trails that we haven’t hit since way back in early March. We’ll be meeting at the Meadowside Nature Center and doing two out-n-backs…one out to Bowie Mill Rd on the Muncaster, Kengla and North Branch Trail and then one out to Avery Road Lake Frank parking lot. The distances will be 9 miles RT for the first leg and 2.5ish for the second leg. For those wishing to add some miles, there are plenty of trails you can pick up from our starting point.
Full disclosure – there is a creek crossing on the Kengla Trail and you will get your feetsies wet if we get any substantial rain on Friday but that shouldn’t be an issue for true bad-ass trailies, right? If you survived the hotness of last weekend you will have a much easier time of it as the temps will be much improved.
As usual we will have some liquids and snackeroonies back at the lot.Still accepting donations of your hard-earned cash to keep Muddy Shoes going. Oh, and don’t forget to take pictures at the Race-Car-in-the Woods! Still don’t know how it got there but it must’ve been one hella party!
OK, so, here are the details:
Where: Meadowside Nature Center
Address: 5100 Meadowside Ln, Rockville, MD 20855 (Go all the way to the back parking lot)
Coords: 39.113694, -77.106480
Time: 0730 Saturday 28 May 2022
Course: First Out-n-Back to Bowie Mill Road (9.5) then Out-n-back to Lake Frank
Distance: Full distance ~11.5-ish but easy to go shorter or longer
Vibe: Will be provided. Upbeat and enjoyable with a hint of mellow
OK, Folks, these trails aren’t gonna run themselves!!!
C U There!
Cheers,
Muddy Shoes
