START: Runnymede ES -- Ride Terrain: Rolling, Ride Leader's Pace: 17 mph, Regrouping: Some, Rest Stops: Snack, Rain Cancellation: Precipitation >60%
The Skyline Drive ride originally posted for 7/3 has been moved to 8/1 to avoid the extreme heat. This shorter ride with gentle terrain and an 8:00 start time means we should be able to be done before noon and the worst of the extreme heat.
There are 3 options: 40, 47, and 55 miles, with the first 27 miles up to the rest stop being the same route for all 3. The rest stop will be at the Royal Farms right before the Subway that is the rest stop called out on the cue sheet.
I plan on riding the 47 mile option.

START: St. St Johns Episcopal Church 3738 Butler Rd -- Ride Terrain: Rolling With Hills, Ride Leader's Pace: 12 mph, Regrouping: Some, Rest Stops: Snack, Rain Cancellation: Sprinkles
High Temps cancels ride.
Wear your red, white and, blue to celebrate the 4th of July on this traditional ride, led by Gloria for many years. Rest stop will be at the Jiffy Mart. I'm hoping for lots of riders so Jiffy Mart is better than Roggenart bec it has two bathrooms, plenty of space to park your bike, and a bit of shade at the concrete tables and benches!

START: Skyline High School, Front Royal, VA -- Ride Terrain: Very Hilly, Ride Leader's Pace: 15 mph, Regrouping: Some, Rest Stops: Snack
This is a hilly, very scenic out-and-back on Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. Skyline High School is ~1 mile from the Park entrance (milepost 0) in Front Royal, VA. We'll ride to Skyland Lodge (milepost 42) and back. We will also stop and re-group at Elkwallow Wayside (milepost 22) on both the outbound and return.
There is an entrance fee for bicycles to enter the Park. I will have a Park pass that will allow 4 bikes to enter.
While the climbs are not steep, they are long and sustained, with a total elevation gain of 8,500' - 9,000'. Expect to ride slower here than at home in Baltimore!
