This ride is the latest in my ongoing effort to get club members to (re)discover the fabulous, world-class riding that exists beyond MoCo and Frederick counties.

This hilly route (with 3500 feet of climbing) is exceptionally beautiful. Notable destinations: Little Washington (which has a new French cafe!), Flint Hill, and the ever-popular Orlean Store.

As routed, there are several out and backs and if you ignore them all, you can have a nice hilly loop of about 30 miles. But you'd miss so much.
Ride leader will average between 11 and 12 mph.

Given how hilly this route is, and how early it is in the season, I would discourage anyone from signing up who hasn't ridden at least 200 miles in the last month.

We start in Hume, Va., at the Ruritan Park in Hume, near the corner of Leeds Manor and Hume Road.

Allow at least 70 minutes to drive from confluence of I-66 and the Beltway.

Feel free to contact me with question about this route.

Directions to ride start: Give yourself 75 minutes to drive from Beltway and I-66, including time spent driving on hilly, curvy road. Park near the picnic shelter at Hume Ruritan Park near corner of Leeds Manor and Hume Road. If you rely on GPS to get there, ignore any cue it gives to you turn off of either of those roads or onto a gravel road other than the entrance to the park.
