Mt Zion Rd between BlackRock and Falls has greatly deteriorated. Route revised to take Black Rock to Benson Mill to Falls. Please download the revised route course.

Web Link: https://baltobikeclub.org/index.php/cue-library/func-startdown/987/I posted a ride because this great fall weather is too nice to waste. We're starting earlier than I'd like because I have to be home in the afternoon to sign for a delivery. I don't want to play hide and seek with UPS. Having said all of that, this is a terrific ride with hills, rollers and some flat stretches with beautiful scenery throughout. Horse country!
We'll have a regrouping opportunity and possible bathroom break at Monkton Station. A 2nd possible stop is the Filling Station. We'll have to check the bee situation at the tables behind the cafe. Regrouping depends on who shows, and how the fast boys and fast girls are feeling.
This is being offered as a no flat tire ride. We've had some bad luck the past week or so but not on Thursday!
