Rt 144 merges w/ RT40 then separates off a short distance later and you'll have you own shoulder. Ride is fairly flat until you hit Patapsco valley area but the hills on Rt144 a nice rollers. AND you won't need a Q sheet. GBs is more scenic though but this is a ride to a ride, No?

The city really needs a straighter way for bicycles to escape west.
You're not kidding!
NR, use my route at your own risk. I was being really quick when I "sketched" it. And, of course, it's running from west to east so some of the routing might be wonky. Charlie's right, my route is convoluted, but scenic. His, more direct.
