We have decided to schedule "Croom and Other Delights," which we had to cancel a couple weeks ago, for tomorrow's ride. And the meeting time will be a very civilized 8:00 a.m. The forecast has improved, and I feel confident that the ride will go, but STILL, if there is ANY question tomorrow morning about the chance of precipitation, please call me at 202-365-3738 to confirm that we're on before you drive out to the ride start.
Here's the info:
SUNDAY, JANUARY 18, 2009
"CROOM AND OTHER DELIGHTS," starting from the K-Mart in the Crofton Centre, Crofton, Maryland. MEETING TIME 8:00 a.m.
Jim Kuehn designed this ride many, many years ago and it remains one of our favorite southern Maryland centuries. The ride rolls through Anne Arundel, Prince George's, and Calvert Counties and includes a visit to the Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary, a winter resting place and home for thousands of migratory geese. 100 miles with several short options. Total elevation gain only about 4,000 feet -- it's a cruise. There is also an optional scenic tour of the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area, which adds 4 miles (most of it on dirt) and a hill or two.
Directions to the ride start:
CROFTON K-MART, CROFTON CENTRE, CROFTON, MARYLAND
From DC Beltway Exit 19, take US50 east 8 miles to exit 13B, MD3 North.
Go North on MD3 for 5-1/2 miles. Turn right into Crofton Center AFTER Friendly's, before MD424.
