This is an easy, short ride for a cold day.  I'm leaving at 10 AM so it warms up a little.  We'll ride 23 miles (with only one significant climb on Longnecker) to Hampstead for a bakery stop at Snickerdoodles.  The last 17 miles aren't hard so we'll fly back to the ride start.  If access to Oregon Ridge is blocked because of a special event, we'll leave from the Oregon Ridge Nature Center.  The access road to the nature center is behind the Oregon Grille at Shawan and Beaver Dam Rds.  Rain or snow will cancel the ride.
