Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/18434570 Outbound via Livingston/Mason Springs to MD-6; return via Chicamuxen/Hawthorne/MD-210. 32.9 miles; 1135' elevation gain.
Weather: Temp range of 29-33 degrees; 9 mph breezes out of the south; overcast
AMS: 12ish
Report: The winter corps irregulars were joined by Darrell this morning who has expressed his pleasure in finding folks that are willing to ride when the temperature is less than 40 degrees. The route was a shortened revision of what was initially announced prompted by unfounded fears of the cold and possible icy road conditions. Other than the road that took us into Pisgah Park for a rest stop, we saw very little ice or snow on the roads. The wide shoulders of Chicamuxen and MD-210 were completely clear and made for good riding, the minus being the traffic noise on those more heavily travelled routes. As always, pleasant riding in SW Charles County.
