Please join us for this low traffic early season ride based on Chuck & Gail's Leisurely Pleasures, ride #24. Starting in Thurmont, we will pass through rural countryside including many farms and ranches. The long route will go to Gettysburg, passing by the Round Tops, numerous monuments, the town of Gettysburg, and Confederate Avenue. Next up are some rolling hills before we visit Emmittsburg and Mount St. Mary's University. Then through more rural countryside and a covered bridge as we return to Thurmont.
The medium and short routes do not visit Gettysburg but are still enjoyable.
We will have lunch in Thurmont after the ride.
