About this event
We have a choice of two wonderful, similar routes to the Gettysburg Battlefield on lightly traveled roads.
The only difference between the two routes is that the shorter one skips the Gettysburg Visitor Center.
There are very few options (if any) for snacks before the Battlefield. If weather permits, I plan to take a break and eat lunch at around Mile 20 at Saxe Bridge. There may also be food at the Visitors Center.
Here are the stats for the two routes:
44 mile ride (+1746 feet of climbing) no restrooms: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49036954
48 mile ride (+1829 feet of climbing): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49036941
PLEASE COME WITH YOUR OWN CUE SHEET OR WITH ROUTE ON A DEVICE.

Directions to Ride Start: Thurmont Community Park (21 Frederick Road, Thurmont, MD). LATE CHANGE TO MEETING PLAN: Due to larger than expected turnout, let's NOT park in the small parking lot by the playground. Let’s meet in the first BIG parking lot further into the park.
