Back to winter riding.....but a short one just to get in some miles until it warms up.
Actually, the weather will be nice - temp. in the 40's, light winds (2-6mph) and sunny.
Stop at Highs at the mid-point. It is a kind of a large Highs and I believe they have chairs & tables (electric chairs and ping pong tables-could be fun).
Cancellation for any reason will be by 8:30am.
I will have lots of cue sheets as a courtesy.
Please note-this is the Park & Ride shortly after getting off the Providence exit from #695.

I'm leading my old standby ride, aka Brett's Ride, on Brett's Day (Thursday). This is just to get some miles in after a brutal winter. The ride travels through Baltimore County's horse country as we do some hills, some rollers and some flat sections. The Monkton Station is a possible early rest stop while the Filling Station is a late possibility.
Regrouping depends on who shows up. I'm posting because the forecasted high for Thursday is in the low 70s! It wasn't that long ago we were freezing and shoveling!

BBC Traditional Ride: Join the Accountants and Tax-payers for the Red Rum Ride. Tax Day is April 15th and we ride on April 16th in honor of Amendment XVI to the U.S. Constitution:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
First 18 miles and last 15 is very gentle. The rest is tough for April 16th. Six mile climb over South Mountain at mile 18 (very hard-lots of 14% grades) and then a two mile climb back over the another side of the mountain. The six mile climb was one of Mark Tabb's favorites and almost traffic free.
2019 Revision has break at mile 34.6 at Sheetz which tends to replace the stop at Rockys. Especially after the freezing rain experience in 2016(?). Reformatted cuesheet for 2019. In 2025 the Sheetz was closed for remode and reviews are mixed on the result.
Note: At mile 39, across the street from Rocky's is a Cafe which the ride leaders may regroup for a coffee or snack. https://www.thegreenhousecafefortritchie.com/
Rain, snow, or extreme winds date is April 17th-the next day at the same time.
