Three Unions and a Windsor by Harry
This ride was originally a PPTC ride with many variations. I have taken some of the hills out (but it is still has a few) and kept us off of some of the main highways where there is no shoulder. There are two Highs Short stops; one in New Windsor and one in Union Bridge. No go if it is raining. Cue sheet is in the Club's library; I'll bring several to the starting point.
