Here's a coffee or tea lover's dream ride with a rolling to hilly course to the Savage Mill first developed by Phil F. Once at the Mill one can enjoy expresso drinks and pastries at the Rustic Bakery and Cafe. On the way back tea drinkers can drink up before the final set of steep hills at the Baltimore Coffee and Tea cafe. Like most my rides I save the best for last with steepest hills of Ellicott City.

I'll provide cue sheets at the ride start. And please remember to bring masks as we'll practice social distancing and other Covid protocols at the ride start and snack breaks.

Please park in the far parking lot of Alpha Ridge Park near the observatory and restrooms.
