The 2018 Greencastle Great Escape
Will miracles never cease?
For the fourth year in a row – every year we've held the event, actually – we managed to dodge a weather bullet. But this time, just barely.
Attendance at this year's Greencastle Great Escape was slightly below last year's numbers – a result, no doubt of a very wet and late-arriving Spring. And the forecast for the weekend was not very promising, either: a chance of rain on Friday, and then rain all day on Saturday and Sunday. Even so, almost everybody who had registered for the event showed up, and we even got a few who had not preregistered.

50th Anniversary Celebration Re-Cap and Thanks!
Our 50th Anniversary Ride and Celebration held on June 2nd was a big success and attended by many!
Boy oh boy, were we lucky with the weather?! Just as WBAL had forecasted, rain didn’t come until later in the afternoon. It was heart-warming to see so many riders show up on such an iffy-weather day and to see so many sporting old club jerseys. We counted over 110 riders!
