Meet at Shady Grove metro for a 50 miler at moderate pace (equivalent to Potomac Pedallers C/CC) to Baldwin's pub by the railroad at Sykesville, MD. Bring $12-$15 for brunch/lunch. Sign-ups are limited to 15 riders, as a larger group will be way too unwieldy at Baldwin's. Let's take the 'Roads to Salvation': Zion, Howard Chapel, Jennings Chapel. then up to Woodbine and over to Sykesville for a lunch stop at Baldwin's Station, which we discovered on last October's ride. From Shady Grove Metro this gives 26 miles to Baldwin's, with a return of 25 for a 51 miles round trip. Course is undulating. Last time the average pace was 15mph with 17-18mph on the flat. Should be easily within the range of rider's who are roaring fit from a season of Sportives and challenging rides. Road bike riders with cleats will be happiest on this trip. Route in two maps here (coz Google Maps thinks the bridge on Howard Chapel is out. It isn't). http://maps.google.c http://maps.google.c Mild precipitation will not stop this ride. Stephen_N. |

Come join us for a special ride through Maryland's Prince Georges and Anne Arundel's Counties to a rendezvous with the great Chesapeake Bay. This 50 mile trip will go through many historic sites such as churches, farmlands and forests. To quote a Boyz to Men song: "Not too hard, not too soft". The terrain is gently rolling with some hills that have just enough sting to remind you that it is not flat out there. The variety in scenery is simply spectacular. Starting with industrial parkland to sprawling suburbia to farmlands, forests, and waterfronts. Finally, the Davidsonville veterans will really appreciate the latter half of the ride because the route covers some very familiar territory. http://www.gmap-pedo Starting/Ending Point: New Carrollton metro station(orange line) - HELMETS ARE REQUIRED! |
