We are always looking to discover a new ride. Not too long ago, I provided some information on great rides: Lighthouse Run and Sterling - Front Royal - Charles Town Loop. See my previous post for more information about those rides. Customers are always coming into Pete's Cycles to get some ideas on good rides, so I figured I’d share some info.
This week I’d like to share some information on two additional rides. First is the Winchester VA to Deep Creek Lake MD, coming in at 104 miles. This ride gets 5 stars for just about everything, from scenery to road quality to available amenities. For those based in Baltimore, the start of this ride is indeed far away, but it makes for a great section of a weekend ride or just a long day in general.
One rider said it best on Motorcycle Roads when he commented: “As you're climbing up through the hills and coming back down, you are surrounded by trees (GREAT in the fall colors!!!) you pass through plenty of quaint towns, cross over and run along rivers. As you cross over the tops of the mountains you get some GREAT valley views along the way.” See the map for its beginning and end. And click here to learn more.
The second ride is the Catoctin Mountain and Frederick County, a 64 mile figure eight loop through some absolutely beautiful country. Unlike the previous ride, this one is easy to do from Baltimore, and it will keep you in Maryland, though you will near the PA line. The ride begins in Libertytown, MD. Click here to learn more.
