22 or 31 miles-decide at mile 18/19.

I will bring lots of formatted cue sheets as a courtesy.

Anyone interested in a ~35mile ride on Friday out of Smoketown, PA at a similar pace, text us for specifics.

A "semi-retro" yet revised further and revised yet again from the 2007 version of Teacher Bob's Old York Field Trip. The Carroll Rd bridge outage forces an additional detour and route does an adventure through Hunt Valley. Break at High's in Whitehall at mile 20. Route takes advantage of the resurface of Old York from Manor Rd south to do the Stockton to Cooper to PaperMill.
