SATURDAY RIDE, OCTOBER 9, 2010

Dear Friends,

We have a ride scheduled for Saturday only this weekend.  Weather forecast looks great!

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2010

"ROLLY ATKINSON MEMORIAL CENTURY," starting from Monocacy Middle School, Frederick, Maryland.  *MEETING TIME 8:00 a.m.*  William Shakespeare Smith designed this scenic and yet fairly mellow ride for the Frederick Pedalers last fall, and it includes lots of lovely notes like the Mid Atlantic Soaring Center, the fruit orchards of Adams County, Pennsylvania, the pretty campus of Mount Saint Mary's College, and one of our favorite Adams County pizza joints, Mamma's in Biglerville.  104 miles, with short options of 64 or 87 miles.  Estimated elevation gain 4000-4500 feet.


Directions to the ride start:

MONOCACY MIDDLE SCHOOL, FREDERICK, MARYLAND, 8009 Opossumtown Pike, Frederick MD  21702

From D.C. Beltway (I-495), take I-270 north 31 miles to Frederick.  Continue north on US15 3.7 miles.  Take Exit 16, Motter Ave exit (sign for Frederick Community College).  Turn RIGHT at the traffic light onto Opossumtown Pike.  In about 1.5 mi. turn RIGHT into Monocacy Middle School parking lot (just after Frederick Community College on the left).
