START: Heritage Trail Centerville Parking Lot -- Ride Terrain: Rolling With Hills, Ride Leader's Pace: 13 mph, Regrouping: Some, Rest Stops: Lunch, Rain Cancellation: Sprinkles,
A John McCauley ride. Relisted since no one showed up 10 days ago.
A perfect weather day (sunny to parrtly cloudy 80 degrees with light winds). The route includes many roads seldomly used.
Lunch at Giovannis at mile 18.5 (there is also a convenience store a few blocks away off the route).
I expect most of us will do a 12-13mph pace. All paces are welcome! (over 10mph riders will have someone to ride with)
The ride start is just North of Glen Rock on Rt. 616 (37 minutes from Timonium, MD).
IMPORTANT: Make sure you go to the Centerville Parking Lot just north of Glenrock and not the Seven Valleys Lot.
