So after some years of exploring the west I'm going to explore where I live now.
Will arrange one day rides and two-three + days rides for those that are interested.

I ride at a pretty spirited pace but I plan the route in advance and am happy to wait at every road junction.

Only have a couple guidelines: No speeding in or within a couple miles of a town and take a breather on the straights.
Corners are no holds barred, within reason

A day ride might be interesting to start, depending on the ride location and whether "within reason" is, um, within reason.

Maybe you can join us at this month’s Breakfast Ride at the Clifton Main Street Pub, Sunday 22 Sep 8:30. We can share ideas about local roads and rides.

Or, if you can't wait until Sunday, join us on Saturday at the monthly Maryland Breakfast ride at the Old Town Diner, 307 Main St, Myersville, MD , Sept 21 at 10am. The food is excellent and the surrounding area has very nice roads for riding.

Information on the breakfast rides can be found here:

Why hasn't that ride been showing up on the monthly calendar?

Perhaps that's something that the board can address at the next meeting. It might increase the turnout as only one member showed up at the last Maryland ride.

I should take back my previous comment that the food is good. While this has been the case in the past, my experience last Sunday did not support this. The food quality has slipped quite a bit and diner was almost empty, which was unusual.
