You ain't kiddin'! (as my PA relatives would say.
)
Fort Meade Road (a/k/a MD 198) through Laurel to the Fort and Annapolis Road (a/k/a MD 175) alongside the Fort and across the B/W Parkway are probably the two spots in Anne Arundel County that would be near the top of my my "Find Some Other Way Around!" list. (Especially that piece of 198; your section of 175 isn't *really* nasty until the part that's around the B/W Parkway ramps.) I won't be home tonight, but I'll try to poke around some on the eastern half of your route tomorrow night. A re-route might involve some twisty/turny neighborhood back roads, though, which might be aggravating for a Ramble ride.
