Choose either the 32 or 37 mile ride. Both rides have rest stops at Sheetz and Loy’s Station Park. The Roddy Covered Bridge remains closed this weekend, but the shorter ride will pass by it.
The longer ride goes up to and through Mount Saint Mary’s University- a generally low-traffic route, mostly rolling (with some hills – 2000ft elevation, 54ft/mi), with views of (and from) the Catoctin Mountains and Rocky Ridge. The shorter ride is less hilly (1400ft elevation, 44ft/mi), and has even less traffic. The Utica Park start allows for no crossings of Route #15 (safer). Restrooms and water at ride start.
From the Baltimore beltway, take I70W (35min) to #15N (10min) to bear right onto Old Frederick Rd (1 min), to left into UticaPark. Once in Park, stay right and park near port-o-johns. Gates to park open at 8am. Join us for optional lunch afterwards at Panera.
