This is a ride created by Gene Bayer that Mark Tabb led recently. It passes the Monkton Station that could be a possible bathroom break. Then it starts up Shepperd then does the very hard Wesley Chapel climb. This nasty climb can easily be avoided by staying on Shepperd. It's main rest stop is a High's in Jarrettsville. (FYI: High's sells crab cake and rock fish sandwiches and has a bathroom!)
On the return, we are supposed to be on Jarrettsville Pike for 0.1 mile. Because Harford County tarred and chipped Houcks Mill Rd in a very unsafe manner, I propose we stay on Jarrettsville Rd then take a right on Pocock Rd. Pocock becomes Hutchins Mill so we're back on the cue sheet and we've avoided piles of stones on Houcks Mill.
Finally, we'll pass The Filling Station on York Rd which serves very good Mexican food at good prices! And they have cold drinks and a bathroom.
