I had a lovely ride on Father's Day. I went back to the area around Ijamsville that I've been covering lately. Nearly done around there.
Since the primary camera went to Disney World this week, I grabbed a couple of spares. The first one had dead batteries, and I found the hard way the the memory in the other resets itself when you drop the bateries and watch them skitter off down the road.
So no photos, but here are a couple of impressions from the ride...
Golf courses can be pretty, but the houses can be a bit pretentious (a recurring theme of mine, I know).
Some of them are pretty nice though.
Three car garages and bigger are 'in.'
Musseter Rd. is more fun and easier north to south (not like last week).
I saw the only other cyclist of the day on Musseter Rd., but he went straight when I turned off to collect a side street.
Speaking of pretentious, ' Royal Saint Andrew Place'!!??? Puh-leeeeese.
Ball Rd. is nice. Tabler is steeper than it looks.
I stopped at a monument. I thought it was Monocacy Battlefield related, but it was about the building of the road to Frederick in the 1700s. Cool
I heard shooting coming from the Issac Walton League along Reels Mill. Nice that they havent been NIMBY'd out.
The road was closed for the bridge out along Reichs Ford Rd. I was just going to ford the stream or cut along the RR tracks to Ijamsville Rd. But the bridges were both intact, so I rode.
I wonder what the food is like at Gabriel's Inn?
Cold iced tea at the end of a ride is about as good as it gets.
