Choose the 33 or 39 mile version.
The ride start is at the I70 Park & Ride on Route#66N, about fifty minutes from the Baltimore beltway (same distance from the beltway as Thurmont). This is a variation of the Gold Fish Pond ride from the BBCWashingtonCounty weekend.
One of our favorite rides with low-traffic, mostly rolling terrain (with some hills - 2700' gain), country setting, and breath-taking views from Edgemont and CrystalFalls roads. There are two rest stops; one at mile 20 (Misty Mountain Creamery - homemade ice cream), and one at mile 30 (SmithsburgLionsPark). Cue sheets will be available for a 39 and 33 mile option - the first 20 miles are the same for both. No restroom at the ride start, however, there is a Rest Area on I70 a few miles before the exit to the ride start. The ride leaders will probably be doing the 33 mile ride.
Dir: From the Baltimore beltway; Take I70W (50min) to Exit #35 (Smithsburg/Boonesboro), right on Route 66 (Mapleville Rd), then 1/2 block north to the P&R on the right. Any questions call cell; 240-308-3648, or 301-590-0088.
