I rode this trail shortly after it opened this summer. From the north end to Carroll Park, it was nice. They did a lot of work withs bridges over the river. The asphalt was in good shape and they used some abandoned roads to connect everything.
But from Carroll Park south, it was terrible. I got lost a few times. I took a spill on the light rail tracks. Yes, I saw the sign by Ravens stadium. I wanted to go through the lot just to look at the statue of Johnny U but the sign scared me off.
I was born in Baltimore but have lived longer near DC. Baltimore has a long way to go to even come close to the DC bike trails. I was hoping this was a good start but I concluded that I was wrong.
