I'll complete my trilogy of BBC led rides with a local favorite.
This Catonsville to Sykesville ride is hilly with some tough steep ones. Last 20 miles is a bit easier so that tends to be quick. I've modified the end because River Rd is closed. You can find the route here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/30889253
One rest stop at mile 25 at the Shell (on left after crossing Rte 32).
We'll be done by 12 so stay and have some pizza at Peace A Pizza.

This is a really fun ride that gets to places not often seen. It's an adventure close to home. We will travel over both paved and unpaved roads. This ride should not be attempted on a regular road bike, as the unpaved roads are too long and rough for narrow tires. No stores on route. Optional lunch after the ride.

Bucolic Harford County ride, through Susquehanna State Park and some of Maryland's best horse and farm country, leading across the border to Delta PA where we'll stop at a most excellent eatery for lunch and/or snack. Fairly hilly but worth it. Spectacular views. Quiet roads. Quaint coffee shop options at beginning, middle and end. A modified out-and-back with options for 21, 42 or 50 miles. This is a great ride!

Web Link: https://baltobikeclub.org/index.php/cue-library/Baltimore-County/Under-50-Miles/W.Run-to-Crossroads/Team BBC's Saturday ride is back---now with upgrades! The Saturday Strade is the upgraded, uptempo version of the Saturday Social, departing now from Baltimore Bicycle Works' newest location in Belvedere Square at 10 am every first and third Saturday of the month.
The route remains the same as last year, and as the weather improves, we can add mileage depending on how the group feels. Riders should expect a leader's average pace of between 15-16 mph, and the same sprint points as last year (Thornton Rd. climb, Padonia sprint to Falls, Lake or Bellemore depending on road conditions of either). We will emphasize riding together as a group, and will work on pacelining from time to time on Hillside.
Helmets are mandatory, and flat kits and clipless pedal systems highly recommended. Feel free to arrive early for pre-ride coffee at Belvedere Square, and we invite riders to hang out after the ride to grab lunch or more coffee at BSQ.
See you all on the road!
