START: Taneytown Memorial Park -- Ride Terrain: Rolling With Hills, Ride Leader's Pace: 12 mph, Regrouping: Some, Rest Stops: Lunch, Rain Cancellation: Sprinkles
Walt & Carole's 38 mile Picnic Ride. Cancelled a few weeks ago due to the 2nd winter in a row from non-hell and ride leader's great wimpiness.
Weather will be near 80 degrees, mostly sunny and 5-10mph winds (back to cold in a few days). I was tempted to put in an easy 50 miler from Taneytown but I assume with the lack of riding this winter, this is a good warmup for later rides in a month or so.
Lunch at a nice Italian restaurant in Gettysburg PA if the group desires (most probably will desire). Good shot we will be able to eat outside if there are no mountains of snow/ice at the front of the restaurant (hopefully kidding).
Will bring lots of cue sheets as a courtesy.
If necessary, ride will be cancelled for any reason by 7:30am (if by some chance I have to cancel and since the weather looks perfect, I will ask someone else to fill in-so expect this ride to happen).

March 15th ride where we do a nice ride to the French Twist Cafe and discuss the soothsayers forecast. (During Caesar's parade on the feast of Lupercal, the Etruscan haruspex (soothsayer) Spurinna warns Caesar to "Beware the (r)Ides of March", a warning he disregards.)
In the weeks before the Ides, Julius Caesar, appointed dictator for life by the Roman Senate, has pardoned his remaining enemies and rewarded his friends. Now Caesar is preparing to leave Rome with his legions to wage a war of conquest against the Parthian Empire. Bonus question for riders: Describe the Parthian Empire in its modern form.
A 9:30am departure has Caesar telling Brutus that the return will be "at two". (Act 3 Scene 1 Julius Caesar by Shakespear)
