"IT'S DELIGHTFUL, IT'S DELICIOUS, IT'S DELISO!" starting from the Woodbine Park & Ride, Woodbine, Maryland. **MEETING TIME 8:00.** In our seemingly never-ending quest to sample every single Adams County PA pizza joint, we think we've discovered a hidden gem in a slightly off-the-beaten track location just north of Gettysburg. Deliso has been very highly recommended, and we'll certainly work up an appetite getting there. We'll take Bill Beck's "Woodbine 200K" route in reverse as far as Taneytown and then follow a more drunken-sailor route to Gettysburg, visiting some interesting parts of the Gettysburg battlefield that don't appear on our other rides. After lunch at Deliso Pizza, we'll meander through some additional battlefield sites before turning south and heading back into Maryland, where we'll have an afternoon rest stop in Union Bridge. The last leg of the ride features the lovely Sams Creek Rd, including 1 mile of beautiful hard-pack surface east of Buffalo Rd. Pavement weenies can take Hooper Rd to avoid it; their loss:-) 102 miles, with no cued shortcuts, although you could easily shorten the ride to 59 miles by picking up the return cues when you get to Taneytown. Alternatively, you could BEGIN and end the ride in Taneytown, and that would yield you 43 miles including the lunch stop at Deliso. Since this is a new ride, please be tolerant of minor cue sheet errors – we'll tweak as we go. Estimated elevation gain for the century 6000 feet or so.Directions to the ride start:
