Pizza or sandwiches at Luke’s at ride’s end.

October 3 (Sun) 8:45 am B- 30ish Libertytown Park
Club Picnic Rides
This is better than the DOUBLEMINT TWINS! (Sorry, some of you are probably too young to know what this means). Anyway, Glenn is running TWO rides today; the first one at 8:45 before the picnic (about 33 miles). The second one will be after the picnic at about 2:00 for about 31 miles.

October 10 (Sun) 7:30 am C 40+ Whittier Elementary School
Catoctin Colorfest in Thurmont
Ride to the Colorfest Arts & Crafts Show (http://www.colorfest.org). Bring panniers for carrying goods purchased. Rolling terrain. Because of the crowds at this event, we will leave sharply at 7:30. Expect traffic in Thurmont. Leader plans for one-hour stay at the Colorfest and return to the start point by 12 noon.

October 10 (Sun) 12:30 pm B- 47 Clear Spring High School
Clear Spring / Fort Loudoun
This is a joint ride with the Cumberland Valley Cycling Club (CVCC). The pace will be 14-15 mph, cue sheets will be provided. Contact Dick Cushwa and/or www.bikecvcc.com for more info. (Rcushwa@aol.com).

October 17 (Sun) 9:00 am B- 55 Carroll Manor Elementary School
Antietam Adventure
This trip will include a ride around the battlefield. This is a hilly ride, but there is no hurry. Lunch stop will be included near Antietam.

October 23 (Sat) 9:00 am C+ 50 Glade Elementary School
Clockwise Covered Bridges
One more time for 2004 to decide which direction I like better. It was properly pointed out last month that the standard ride actually travels counter-clockwise, so the reverse direction should really be called 'clockwise'. As so it is. Standard FredCo rolling terrain with the regular lunch stop in Emmitsburg.
