Ride Report

Interesting riding up and down Milltown Landing, Magruders Landing and Whites Landing and Croom from Milltown Landing on down to Tanyard, which is where those 2183' of climbing come from.

A quiet ride, just me and Sarah.  We saw very little traffic on the route, although the Belway and MD-5 had lots of (pre-holiday?) traffic.  There's a notice out that Molly Berry will be closed on or about Nov 27.  I'm guessing it's for repaving, although the section between Croom and North Keys certainly doesn't need it.

Many would say this was a perfect day for riding.  I can't help but wonder why it was just the two of us.
