The Bumpy Belt Loop is a 30 mile loop with 2000 feet elevation gain starting and ending at Baltimore Bicycle Works, 1813 Falls Road. Wheels roll 6pm sharp.

The route snakes northerly at a brisk pace, punctuated by all-out attacks on the short and steep segments for which the route is named: Rolandvue, Malvern, Circle, Old Court, Mays Chapel, and Bellemore.

The ride regroups after each of those six climbs. Anyone able to maintain 16mph within a tight group can do this ride. Stronger riders quickly tire themselves on the early climbs, and anyone with excess energy is cajoled into pulling the rest of us. The Bumpy Belt Loop is a great equalizer.

Front and rear lights strongly recommended; this ride ends during twilight.
