Start the Season All-Class 27/C

Sat, April 11, 2026 9:30 AM | Karen Morgan

Leader:  Karen Morgan


Members:  Carl Hattery, Jan Johnson, Sue Murray, Mary Ann Owsley, Tom Short, Jill Thompson, Patricia Walthers and Jim Cavanaugh.

Route:  Indian Head Rail Trail to Bumpy Oak for a big loop to include Ollies Bar/Grill and Pisgah Store.  We traveled down to General Smallwood State Park then returned on Chicamuxen to Hawthorn then the IHRT back to Village Green.

Weather:  Beautiful blue skies with light winds, high 60's to low 70's.

AMS:  Rider leader clocked an average of 10mph.  Most of the riders had a higher AMS.

Mechanicals/Mishaps:  None

Report:  Delightful spin thru rural Maryland.  We rode at a leisurely pace and the riders regrouped regularly so we all stayed close together.  There were a few more cars than expected, but they were all respectful.  A breeze picked up at Smallwood State Park, we all concluded that it provided a nice little tailwind for the ride home.

    I had leg surgery 2 months ago and haven’t ridden my road bike for months before that, As a result I was very concerned whether I could do this ride but found that I could although my quadriceps are now sore. The group was great and Karen was a marvelous leader.
