Forecast is looking "iffy". Hopefully, it will not worsen or improve......
Created by Eugene Bayer. The ride starts from Alpha Ridge Park (11685 Old Frederick Rd, 21104) and goes west and north to Gillis Falls, then turns south with a rest stop in Mt. Airy at the Highs (mile 20.7) on our way to Long Corner and Mullinix Roads. We then turn north and east by way of Glenelg back to the start.

CANCELLED (This is one of those tough call days-foggy and possibly misty this morning in New Freedom - 98% humidity). Chance of afternoon showers increased to 50%. See you on McCauley's ride tomorrow.
Untested BBC ride. Ride starts at the New Freedom Rails to Trails.There are indoor bathrooms at the start. Lunch at mile 17.5 on the porch at what was formally called The Rayville Store. It will and should always be the Rayville Store!
There is a 20% climb on Spooks Hill at mile 22. This can easily be bypassed by taking a Left on Kidds Schoolhouse (shortly before the climb) and a Right at the (T), Beckleysville Rd. You will shortly be back on the route.
Important-At this stage The Weather Channel is only calling for a 24% chance of rain. If the forecast changes in the AM (I will not be surprised), I will cancel the ride by7:30am.
I will bring lots of FORMATTED cue sheets!

Not as long nor as hard as the true 2025 Giro d'Italia and we won't get the crowds and the sag and the cycling press.
If for any reason the prior (5/4) Sunday's Rocks, Slate, & River is postponed to this Sunday 5/11, then the Giro will move to next Sunday, May 18th! And so it has!!!
We will do the AntiCyclonic direction for the ride on Sunday. AntiCyclonic garmin Course at http://www.baltobikeclub.org/images/agorapro/attachments/69/Giro-d-Italia-A-course.zip

START: MWP - Meadowood Regional Park -- Ride Terrain: Rolling With Hills, Ride Leader's Pace: 16 mph, Regrouping: Some, Rest Stops: Snack, Rain Cancellation: Precipitation >60%,
This is the PrettyBoy Plunge not-so-Lite from Meadowood.
This is a beautiful, not short, hilly ride through the Prettyboy watershed. RWGPS says there are 10 major hills and some small ones. None are terribly steep. We'll ride approx 34 miles to the High's on Rayville Rd for our rest stop. Last year, there was a Porta Potty on the parking lot. It's only 11 miles and one big climb to Veloccino. Then we roll over Cuba to the last climb up JerryJay followed by the screaming descent of Mays Chapel!
I'm leading this ride because I have gone over the Dam and adjacant to yet not around PrettyBoy in several weeks. Also, the high temp for Tuesday is forecast to be Ok! Don't know yet about the winds. Regrouping depends on who shows up.

START: Utica Park, Frederick,MD -- Ride Terrain: Very Hilly, Rest Stops: Lunch,
I've decided to mark the 10th anniversary of my x-country bike trip by riding to the now infamous Subway. On 4/21/2015 I departed San Diego airport & arrived @ this Subway on 5/25/ Memorial day. Needless to say, today's route is much shorter than the 2800 mile arduous adventure across Merica of a decade ago..... pics of the trip https://www.flickr.com/photos/132083892@N04
Since this is Memorial day weekend, it should be noted that the route passes through battlefields & Antietam National Cemetery
*Route crosses Rt 15 at grade.* This can be avoided & mileage can be reduced to 75 miles by starting (& ending) @ Thurmont Comminity Park. You would climb up 77, turn left onto Stottlemyer and meet up with me along there.
I usually take a break @ either the creamery or the monument. I usually eat lunch @ Subway in Boonesboro. There's also another opportunity for a break @ the store prior to descending down into Thurmont.

START: Lot F Ellicott Mills Dr. Historic E.C. -- Ride Terrain: Rolling, Regrouping: Some, Rest Stops: Lunch,
Somewhat untested route I got from Phil F. I changed the start from Catonsville to E.C. I've done the return from D.C. twice. Unlike M2M there's no designated stops, as yet. I've asked for suggestions to no avail. I'm mostly doing this as a test ride. However, this might be the ONLY time I post it. Please note & take into consideration, the category 14-15 mph when considering whether or not to join me. Email me if you have any questions. I'll update the description if I have any additional info to add. Given my past experience w/GPS problems, I'll most likely print a few cue sheets as a back up. Lastly, We have done a similar ride in the past where we took the MARC train back to Halethorpe. However, I'm not sure if I'd recommend doing that.
