START: 5568 Landing Rd , Elkridge, MD 21075/Morning choice trailhead -- Ride Terrain: Very Hilly, Ride Leader's Pace: 7 mph, Regrouping: Frequent, Rest Stops: None,
As always, look for the O.G. on the Santa Cruz @ the ride start or let me know if you are coming & I'll look for you. I ride from home & usually arrive close to the start time as I like to keep moving.

I led this ride on Sunday, we had 7 riders. Since I didn't ride this winter, 30 miles is a good distance for me. I'm not going to get in shape with one long, hard ride. The forecast for Baltimore is calling for a high of 60 with 10 mph winds.
There are two possible rest stops: Monkton Station and the Filling Station. Regrouping depends on who shows up. On Sunday we had a fast group and a more "deliberate" group.

The big question is: Will DD make her 2025 debut with a high of 83?

BBC Traditional Ride: Join the Accountants and Tax-payers for the Red Rum Ride. Tax Day is April 15th and we ride on April 16th in honor of Amendment XVI to the U.S. Constitution:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
First 18 miles and last 15 is very gentle. The rest is tough for April 16th. Six mile climb over South Mountain at mile 18 (very hard-lots of 14% grades) and then a two mile climb back over the another side of the mountain. The six mile climb is one of Mark Tabb's favorites and almost traffic free.
2019 Revision has break at mile 34.6 at Sheetz which tends to replace the stop at Rockys. Especially after the freezing rain experience in 2016(?). Reformatted cuesheet for 2019.
Note: At mile 39, across the street from Rocky's is a Cafe which the ride leaders may regroup for a coffee or snack. https://www.thegreenhousecafefortritchie.com/
Rain, snow, or extreme winds date is April 17th-the next day at the same time.
Download .zip has both pdf and garmin course files.
