It really wasn't that bad. Initially, I went the wrong way on Rt 175 riding it all of the way into town. I knew I went the wrong way only after seeing that Rt 175 ended.

So, I turned around and rode it the other direction, but this time with VZ Navigator turned on so that I wouldn't miss my exit again.

I'd use Rt 175 (and Rt 1) again.

The first time that I used Rt 1 was riding with Barry to Elkridge for my very first DC RAND century. Somehow we got split up by the end of the ride. I rode home alone with sketchy lighting. (well, what I would consider sketchy compared to what I have now) That ride was the first time that I rode through the city at night--through the city and then through Dundalk. It would be the first time I decided not to ride past the I-95 interchange on Eastern Ave. I turned off of Eastern on to Dundalk, instead, picking up Holabird. Now that I'm smarter, I should have picked up Boston leading to German Hill.
