This is a lovely ride with a short stretch of packed dirt. The main route is 62 miles, though if the weather looks really nice, I may opt for the 66.

Please note that the ride starts at the elementary school, and not the park!

Start: TES; Distance: 61 to 66 miles; Rolling ride from Taneytown to Emmitsburg with great views of the Catoctins; lunch/snack stops in Emmitsburg, great Autumn ride, club favorite. Several alternate versions which all avoid the 2 at grade crossings of Rt 15
