This is the classic Three Covered Bridges ride with Kelbaugh Road thrown in for its excellent views of the valley. Join us on this moderately hilly ride on the back roads of Frederick County. Elevation 1865’ (47ft/mi). Rest stop at mile 20 at Sheetz, and an option rest stop at Loy’s Station mile 32. This ride goes under Route #15 twice.
If you want to shorten the ride and bypass Kelbaugh Road, cue sheets will be available for a shorter 36-mile version (RWGPS#55387773). Each version is the same for the first 20 miles.
This ride starts at Utica Park. Park next to the volleyball courts. Porto johns and water available at the park. Printed cue sheets available at the ride start. Any questions, text 240-308-1341.

A John McCauley ride.
Weather is partly sunny 60-70 degrees (bonus day) and 5-10mph winds.
The first half is "same-old same-old". The second half of the ride includes seldomly used roads. Ride with GPS has a 6.4 rating but I rate the ride a 7.8 on the World Famous MT scale (based on 10,000 ft per 100 miles). BTW-hilly is an 8 and over.
Lunch at Giovannis at the midpoint - one of our favorite pizza/sub shops (can eat in or out?)
I expect most of us will do an 11-13mph pace. All paces are welcome! Anyone over a 10mph pace will not ride alone for long.
The ride start is just North of Glen Rock on Rt. 616. Arrive early-parking can be tough!
IMPORTANT: Make sure you go to the Centerville Parking Lot just north of Glenrock and not the Seven Valleys Lot. Only 37 minutes from Rt #83N and #695. Porta potty at the ride start - bathrooms also at mile 5.
Address-Heritage Rail Trail Centerville Parking Lot, *****Glenrock, PA 17327. We start on the rail trail parking lot on the north side of Glen Rock, just off of Rt 616. From I-83N take Rt 216 W (a few turns to stay on Rt 216 W) and go straight onto Rt 616. Lot is 100 yards on Right after it turns into Rt 616. All road riding!
Will bring lots of formatted cue sheets as a courtesy.
Important: Please check this site by 7:30am for any possible cancellations.
