SUNDAY, APRIL 11, 2010
"VARIATIONS ON A THEME BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE SMITH," starting from Monocacy Middle School, Frederick, Maryland. **NOTE LATE MEETING TIME 8:30 a.m**!! This kind and gentle ride is adapted from the 2007 Frederick Pedalers Century designed by Bill Smith and Tim Guilford. (Thank you, Bill!) The route goes to most of the same places but uses mostly different roads to get there. In the morning we'll noodle along some of our favorite mellow roads between Frederick and Emmitsburg, then continue north into Adams County PA and slightly east to McSherrystown for lunch at Brothers Pizza. We'll pass through the village of Harney in the morning and again in the afternoon, and there will be an afternoon rest stop at WGR's favorite refueling spot -- Detour! Only ~ 4,000 feet elevation gain. 100 miles, with a 58-mile short option.
