Map and cue sheet
Ride with GPS route
This is a nice country ride to finish the cycling season in style. A loop of 40 miles, pace about 13.5 mph, 2,045’ of easy climbing, and completely doable in about 3 hours. We will start and end at the Walkersville fire house, ride progressively northwards toward Rocky Ridge, taking in some of Jeff’s favorite routes, including Harp Rd where he has spotted deer, foxes, squirrels, and wild turkeys during his rides. Other favorite roads are Angleberger Rd, Wilhide Rd (along which flows a beautiful stream and where you will probably encounter more horse droppings than automobiles), LeGore Bridge Rd, and Links Rd, which come near the end of the ride.
Helmets and water bottles are required. Bring a substantial snack - riding 40 miles requires fuel. If there is enough interest, we will head to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
Meet at the parking lot between Walkersville Fire Co. and Rescue Co (same start spot as TDF) at 79 W Frederick St, Walkersville.
