Here's a link for the PG Co. part of the trail. I have heard(Spokes??) that they are going to build a bridge over the Patuxent River for this trail. I assume this will connect the PG County section to the one you rode, here's a link to part of the trail in PG.

nba: does the trail in AA co(where you rode) go south of Patuxent rd along Bragers rd? Or does it end at Pax rd?
I thought the trail went to conway rd, but it doesnt. It must go almost there. I had to actually backtrack a bit and hook up with patuxent, then get on conway. On the map, it really looks like it continues, but it doesnt. I didnt see a sign of Braggers rd actually. Now that I am looking at the map I am wondering why I didnt see Braggers rd? I do not think I made it to those power lines. That being said, I didnt actually go 100% to the end and look around. There was a large family hanging out at the end of the trail so I didnt want to interrupt. It may just be a dirt rd? There was some large bushes blocking the end of the trail. Anyway, it ends right around there and does NOT go over the Patuxent river. My grandparents live in Bowie and its kind of a pain because there is no way to get there between 295 and route 3 (which is basically impossible to cycle on).
nr: the WB&A is much less used than the B&A, and much shorter, but it is not completed. If you ever wanted to hook up with it from Annapolis you can use the "proposed" south shore trail rt (orange line) using 175&178. You could also use my route from the BWI trail. WB&A Rd actually reminded me a lot of the B&A Trail without the constant stopping! All nice and flat down there.
