Ride is a GO after consulting four (4) weather forecasts with rain chances ranging from 0 to 30%.  Plenty of options to shorten should conditions change.

Another scenic tour of Charles County back roads, meandering through Marbury and then taking Smallwood Church, Ironsides, Durham Church and MD-6 to a rest stop at Scott's Store in Welcome.  Continuing on MD-6 eastwards to Poorhouse, then Ripley, Hawthorn, Marshall Corner and Bensville Rd to the IHRT which will return us to the start.  37 miles, 1397' elevation gain.

All ride classes welcome:  ride leader will sweep at a CC/C pace to insure no rider left behind.  A few cue sheets at ride start - best to either print your own or download route.
