There is a faster way to Beulah:
Exit the metro to the backside that is on the other side of the train tracks. (When you exit the ticket turnstiles or whatever, make a left and there should be a way out, opposite to the bridge to the parking). There should be bike racks there and a road (Barry Rd) into the woods with single-family houses. Somewhere along that road, to the right, should be a little bridge and curvy, inclined path. At the top of the path is Amberleigh (the townhouse neighborhood). Exit the culdesac and follow Crestleigh Way to the end. Turn right onto Beulah St. and you should know where to go from there.
The bike racks you use if you go on this route is in the back of the Metro station and very prone to theft, so you should probably ride a bike that looks like crap. Also watch out at night for potential robbers.
