Note: 10:00am start from Oregon Ridge
Oregon Ridge to Hampstead Loop - We likely skip the Mile 18 break at Jiffy Mart. Instead proceeding to take Shiloh to Brodbeck to Basler to Cape Horn. So the break is at A-Town on Brick Store at mile 29. Then returning Georges Creek to Yeoho.
And don't forget the easy to miss mile 20 turn onto Brobeck from Shiloh!
Come join the fun!

Clockwise roll around Loch Raven where we descend the usual climbs. Thus we fly down Jerome Jay and zoom down Dance Mill and barrel down Seminary. Return features the complete length of Seminary, we also do a short fly down Falls.
No commercial snack stop so bring a snack for a brief roadside bite perhaps at Corbett and Old York.

Starting from the Arbutus Senior Center (855 Sulphur Spring Rd, Arbutus, MD 21227 next to the library), the route visits Linthicum, Ferndale, Severn, South Gate, Brookfield, and Harmans. Print a cue sheet from the BBC Cue Sheet Library or from Ride-With-GPS. Paper cue sheets at the start.
Web Link: https://baltobikeclub.org/index.php/cue-library/func-startdown/1028/A John McCauley ride. A nice weather day -Partly Cloudy, 78 degrees, light winds.
Lots of isolated hills but no major grades.
There is a Highs at mile 25. I rate this ride as a 7.5 on the World Famous 1-10 Tabb Climb Scale (10,000 ft per 100 miles). I expect to do an 11-12mph pace in the back with the slower riders but suspect the group will do an 11-14 pace. All paces are welcome. Also, the ride can easily be cut short to 32 miles (Rt 23 at mile 25 to a R on Troyer).
Address of start location: Manor Tavern-15819 Old York Road, Monkton MD
Please check this site by 7:30am for any possible cancellations.
Decided to change the route - 1) a few extra miles to enjoy the fantastic weather 2) to avoid riding on Liberty rd. 3) unsure about rest stop on shorter route
FYI:The potholes located near the end of sams creek (on the return) have been fixed recently.
Please park in the back lot away from the brewery etc.

Hilly ride through Prettyboy Reservoir, the "old" Falls Road and many other nasty delights. There is a tremendous Halloween decoration at mile 19.5 on Armacost Rd (should make for great pictures).
I'm posting this beautiful but short ride through horse country on Halloween for one reason, the high temp in Baltimore is forecasted to be 82! We have a potential bathroom break at Monkton Station and a rest stop at the Filling Station on York Rd if desired. Regrouping depends on who shows up. I can't do a longer ride because I have a dental appointment in the afternoon. Clearly, my morning will be better than my afternoon!

Classic ride from Front Royal, VA - first 30 miles are hilly heading southbound on Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park, then descends into Luray, climbs up over the Massanutten Ridge, and then a fast, flat return the last 30 miles through Fort Valley. Rest stops at Elkwallow Wayside (mile 24), Luray (mile 41), and Fort Valley (~mile 60). There is a $15 entrance fee for bicycles at Shenandoah National Park, but my season pass will allow 4 cyclists to enter.

Gene Young and I are doing a mini-cluster start from Oregon Ridge Lodge on November 9th before the BBC End of Year Celebration Dinner and Election. The idea is both rides will return around 12:30/12:45 PM. This will allow time for our riders to change clothes in the lodge bathrooms and wash the bugs off our faces and teeth.
It's approx. 23 miles to the Hampstead bakery. The 17-mile return is flatish so people tend to fly back. I'll have old school paper cue sheets! Regrouping depends on who shows up and are they feeling kind or competitive. The Celebration dinner is free to BBC members, one just needs to RSVP to Gloria Epstein at carlglo@verizon.net by November 5th.
