START: Nantucket Elementary School -- Ride Terrain: Rolling, Ride Leader's Pace: 14 mph, Regrouping: Some, Rest Stops: Snack, Rain Cancellation: Precipitation >60%
Posting this ride as no other rides posted at the moment, and wanted a little bit change of scenary from N Baltimore County or Taneytown area.
However, some disclaimers. I have not ridden in this area this year, and not even sure I have ever ridden this route before (but I am told it is a nice ride).
I will have the sign in sheet but no paper cues.
The ride start is Nantucket Elementary School, 2350 Nantucket Dr, Crofton, MD 21114. But not sure exactly where within the parking lot we will be. But at 8:30am on a Saturday morning I don't expect too many cares.
If above has not put you off, hope to see you in Crofton.

START: Oakdale High - 5850 Eaglehead Dr, Ijamsville, MD 21754 -- Ride Terrain: Rolling, Ride Leader's Pace: 15 mph, Regrouping: Some, Rest Stops: Snack, Rain Cancellation: Sprinkles
Another new ride on some lovely, unfamiliar roads. Since the Jubal Early ferry is no more, I thought I'd try a different way into Virginia. You will ride past:
- A jet
- A WWII tank
- A civil war battlefield
The snack break is at Back Street Brews Coffee and Tea House
No paper cue sheets provided
