Note:  as of Thurs night the weather forecast looks great.  (never trust a forecast 5 days ahead!) With the forecast of warm temperatures - I'll ask Ed to bring cue sheets for an optional longer ride. 

Nice ride for a winter weekend... rolling with a few steeper hills.  Approx. 2500' elevation gain.  Good to warm up on the hills.

Rest stop at mile 20  with a choice of a snack at Snickerdoodle or lunch at J&P restaurant.

The start of the return from Hampstead can be chilly heading south on Blackrock Road  for almost 4 miles before the first hill.  Dress accordingly.

Thanks to Ed Cahill, the cue library has TCX files.  We will use the second one shown in the cue sheet library  for the 36 mile route https://ridewithgps.com/routes/31641514.  There is a short cut to make the ride 34 miles
