Nice, scenic ride through Carroll / Cow county farmland. There's a 7-11 in New Windsor. We stop there when / if anyone wants to. However, it doesn't have a restroom, so, I tend to skip it. There's a firehouse a short distance away that we sometimes stop @ to use the restroom if / when someone needs to use it. *NO paper cues provided*

MOVED this ride to Thursday, July 3, 2025!
Beautiful ride through Loudoun County VA on mostly low traffic gravel roads. There is a country store on the route but I don't recall exactly where. I usually take what I need, but I have stopped there @ least once...for ice cream. Ride / terrain etc. is for strong riders whose experience extends beyond C&O & NCR.
Tcx url: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/51500660The ride travels clockwise from Alpha Ridge Park (11685 Old Frederick Rd, 21104) west to Mt Airy, north to Krimgold Park, then south-east through Gaither back to the start. Indoor rest rooms at the start and at Highs (15.0) and port-a-potties at Krimgold Park (27.2). Please print a cue sheet from the BBC Cue Sheet Library or from Ride-With-GPS. Paper cue sheets at the start.
Web Link: https://baltobikeclub.org/index.php/cue-library/func-startdown/1005/Early, to avoid conflicting with holiday activities, rolling ride with some "keep you honest" hills. Easy ways to soften the hills. Rest stop at mile 30 Highs. They have an outdoor access restroom on south face of building.
Web Link: baltobikeclub.orgIt's been a tradition to do "The Church Ride" on July 4th. Starting early will allow us to get home in time for any holiday activities. Although this route is short, there are enough challenging hills for a good workout. We'll take a rest stop in Hampstead @Jiffy Mart convenience store / Subway before heading back to the start. Paper cue sheets will be available. Day of ride contact: 410 236 2129. If there are any last minute updates, I will post them on the rides schedule and forum by 6:30am.

Ride on three distinct Falls Roads in Baltimore County plus extra bonus of a 'brief' encounter with Big Falls Rd. Replaces prior Four Falls Ride which had too much Big Falls and not enough of the second Falls Road. Removes riding on Mt Carmel and the dissatisfying mile 18 Exxon stop replaced by the mile 29 preferred Filling Station snack stop.
This route avoids Wesley Chapel in favor of Troyer & Shepperd going to Falls #4.

Enjoy some new roads along with some familiar roads on a new route from Taneytown to Littlestown! This ride is a 35.4 mile loop with about 1500 feet of climbing. The ride starts at Taneytown Memorial Park and passes through Littlestown, PA. The first mile is along the wide shoulder of Rt 140, but then the ride moves onto very nice, low-traffic, country roads. One mile of the route is on a flat, very smooth, hard-packed gravel road (Shoemaker Road), and should not be a problem for any type of bike.
There is a rest stop at mile 23.3 in Littlestown at the Subway (or at Kennie’s Market, kenniesmarket.com, across the street from the Subway).
