Report - We started from the Indian Head Village Green with about 10 riders at 9am and it was getting hot. As we began our climb up the Mighty Mount Pisgah, two riders turned back. Being Sunday, the traffic wasn't too heavy as we rode the wide shoulder of Hawthorne Road up Mt. Pisgah. All the riders made the right turn on Ripley and again on Poorhouse. At the nearby Pisgah store, we kept straight on Bicknell all the way to Rt. 224/Chicamuxen Rd. Then turned left and made our way to Smallwood State Park for a rest break by the water side as we watched several fishermen ply their trade. After the rest break we made our way out of the park and returned to the IHRT to finish the 25+ ride for ice cold watermelon at the picnic area of the Village Green served by Jackie Schoch. Other than the very warm temperature, it was a very nice, pleasant ride with absolutely no problems whatsoever.
