The Fuzz's Excellent Motorcycle Adventure 6

Even though The Fuzz's Trusty Bike had been giving a little trouble, he had decided to take the plunge, and push on to Maryland.  Having checked out some maps, he realized he was more than halfway there already.  He would have plenty of time for this leg, without pushing the bike.  Maybe it would do okay.  So in the morning he headed north toward the Baltimore area.

The plan called for definitely avoiding Washington.  On a previous trip, The Fuzz's Sweetie had worked out a nice route up into Maryland, and across through the countryside past a few wineries.

The first leg was to head north on 29, then catch 15 to Leesburg, and across the river into Maryland.
The Fuzz took it easy on this leg, and the bike gave no trouble.  Once in Maryland he stopped for a bit of fuel and a cup of coffee.
At Fredrick, after a rest break at the local DQ, he picked up 2 lane Maryland 26 east.  Those Maryland DQs don't quite hold up to NC standards.
He passed a few wineries, but resisted the temptation to stop.  He was getting closer to his destination, and would be there a bit too early at this rate.  So a bit of a lunch break seemed like a good idea.
He found Oscar's Alehouse.  That was hard to resist, so he didn't.  After a beer and ruben sandwich, he was ready to hit the road again.
But of course one thing came first.
And for the Ladies.
The Fuzz missed his next turn, but fortunately realized it before he got sucked into Baltimore.  A quick consultation of the map produced an alternate route, and he was able to "Recalibrate"
He was still a bit early getting to his destination.  So he decided to stop by the shop and see the Motorhead Daughter on the job. But due to some faulty directions, ended up lost.  And his clutch was acting up again.
So in the end he just went to the apartment, and waited, taking the time to catch up in his little Trip Journal.
