Weekday and Evening Rides

Tuesdays 6:00 pm B Bechtel
Bechtel Rides

The rides leave from the Bechtel parking lot (along the woods) at 5275 Westview Drive (off Crestwood close to Rt. 85) at 6:00 PM. Mileage will depend on available daylight (tail light recommended), speed will be category B/B+ with a couple of hills, no one left behind.

Tuesdays & Thursdays 6:00 pm B 25-35 Glade Elementary School
Tuesday/Thursday Road Ride

The racers are starting from here, so don’t get confused. We’re easy to tell apart — they’re looking at the finish line, we’re looking at the waist line. Expect a pace of about 15-17 mph. Impromptu.

Wednesdays 6:00 pm C 20-25 Glade Elementary School
The Glide from Glade

The ride title says it all! We’ll go at a very easy pace. New riders are welcome, as this will be a social ride and also a recovery ride for those who choose to push harder on Monday and Tuesday nights. No one will be left behind. Usually no go in rain and ride leader duties will alternate through the season so there's always a chance of an impromptu ride.

Wednesdays 9:00 am B+ 35-50 Wheel Base
Wednesday AM Road Ride

This is a mid-week ride that starts at Wheel Base Bicycles in Frederick. Call the bike shop in advance for more information. Wheel Base: 301-663-9288.

Weekend Rides

Jun 11 (Sat) 9:00 am B 60 (Hilly) Glade Elementary School
The High Road to High Rock

Up Catoctin Hollow, then Park Central continuing up to Blue Ridge Summit then up to High Rock. The hilly nature of this ride may result in a C pace on some of the climbs. Bring a snack to eat while watching the hang gliders. The first full service rest stop is mile 42 - there's a restroom stop at the ranger station mile 18, a couple of stores in Blue Ridge Summit, but no restrooms. We'll stop at Sheetz in Thurmont after a swooping descent. No cue sheet, we'll ride together or regroup as necessary. No go in rain.

Jun 19 (Sun) 7:45 am B-/C+ 62 Monocacy Middle School
Two Covered Bridges

Ride up to Thurmont. We'll see two covered bridges on the way. Optional breakfast stop. Expect a pace of about 12-15 mph.

Jun 25 (Sat) 9:00 am D 20 Lewistown Elementary School
Loopy for Lewistown

We'll meander along the quiet country roads surrounding Lewistown. It's not flat, but there are no significant hills. One planned rest stop approximately half-way through the ride, and we will stop as desired by the group. We will ride as a group and no one will be left behind.

Every Sunday 8:00 am A/B 35-50 Wheel Base
The Sunday Morning Road Ride

The entire group stays together for about an hour then usually breaks into two smaller groups, a faster ride and a slower ride. Ride goes if it is not too windy and the roads are dry. Wheel Base: 301-663-9288.
