This time I went farther and harder. I climbed several times to the Catoctin ridgeline. I intended to ride up a local climb that is a favorite among the local cycle clubs, but it was closed due to proximity to Camp David, where Geordie was meeting with Gordie.
| Cactoctin National Park Visitor's Center, with the Park Central Rd. closed sign just to the left. |
| A long way from the railhead. |
| Now this is more like it. Along Manahan Rd. |
| The sign at the northern park boundry along Manahan Rd. |
| Looking out of the park to the north, with the WV state flower in the background. |
| Hazy ride down into another valley. |
| Barn. |
| Quiet road, small hills, cycling paradise. |
| Field along Garfield Rd. The hills are back. |
| After taking this photo, I dropped the camera and it split open. I was able to get it all back together later and it still works! |
