DVP - Davidsonville Park and Ride (route 50 & 424)
This is a beautiful ride that travels over some very rural roads in Carroll County. Between mile 16 and the rest stop at Sheetz in Manchester at mile 28, there are 5 good climbs one right after another. None are stinkers like Wesley Chapel Rd but they are hills.
Regrouping depends on who shows up and are they feeling competive or kind. TBD! The 2nd half is much easier hill-wise but there are a few climbs to reach your car at Oregon Ridge.
Web Link: https://baltobikeclub.org/index.php/cue-library/Baltimore-County/Over-50+-Miles/Manchester-Loop/This ride is very different from Sunday's Picnic Ride. The predicted weather is partly cloudy, 89 degrees, light winds and low humidity (unusual treat for July).
This is a great ride created by Carol and Walt Russell which heads southwest from Taneytown and arrives in Emmitsburg at mile 22 for a snack or lunch at a convenience store (nice large Rutters).
From Emmitsburg, the route continues in a clockwise loop north into PA and passes the glider field on Pecher (about mile 27). We'll dip into MD and then return north again into PA before heading southeast back to Taneytown.
Ride starts at the Taneytown Shopping Center - behind the Sheetz at the traffic circle near the Taneytown Tub.
I expect most riders will probably average 11-14mph.
I will bring formatted cue sheets
