START: MWP - Meadowood Park -- Ride Terrain: Rolling With Hills, Ride Leader's Pace: 14 mph, Regrouping: None, Rest Stops: Snack, Rain Cancellation: Precipitation >60%
The weather on Sunday is going to be a carbon copy of Saturday's weather temperature-wise so let's ride. We'll be starting close to Baltimore City at Meadowood Regional Park. This is a terrific ride given how close it is to a large metropolitan area. There are two options: 39 and 44 miles. The rest stop is a High's on Rt.30 and there's an optional 5-mile loop right before the store.
The highlight of the route is getting a selfie in front of Jeffarello's house. Regrouping depends on who shows up and are they feeling kind or competitive. I'll have cue sheets. We can walk across the new bridge on Cuba Rd, I checked on Saturday.
If I were in much better shape, I'd do Teacher Bob's birthday ride but 71 hilly miles is not for me in early May.
