AKA-Hillbilly Hop-A "Stinger" Climb. With a big cue sheet editing by Carol Russell.
Enjoy the Fall colors and scenic views of mountains and valleys. Rolling ride to Thurmont , then 4 climbs (totaling 5.5 miles of climbing) on the way to Emmitsburg. Two challenging, steep climbs up Eylers Valley Rd. and the "stinger" climb up Hornets Nest from Friends Creek. Approx. 3800 ft of elevation gain. There is a 0.3 mile section of hard pack dirt and gravel road. Easy rolling return from Emmitsburg.
