Northeast - Rail Trail ride for 30th

Sunday the15th is the big 3-0 for me, I plan to ride the York county rail trail from the start @ the Plow Tavern in York to the end in Cockeysville MD. I ride the Pa half about every other week, and rode the Md half once, I have never done the trial in its entirety. The trip is about 84 miles in length. I am allowing about 8 hours to make the voyage. :)

That is a fabulous trail. We rode it lat year as a 2 day mini-tour and it is a very comfortable ride. You should have no trouble fininshing in that time. Remember plenty of water since it seems like it is a ways between water supplies.

Yea, i love riding it. I can carry about 4 bottles, and my camel is a 3 liter, I should only need one water stop to pick up a gallon or so, probably in Glen rock on the way back up, they have that convience store right on the trail there.

Happy B-day!
I've never gone the distance but am looking forward to one day doing just that. I'm a bit older (52) and am basically a newbie. York to Hanover Junction is my normal ride. Building strength and stamina each ride.

I'll be thinking about you Sunday and waiting for the details.

My dad rides the Pa side with me alot, he is also 52 years old, but he is in better shape than me! You will get there also!:D

North Central / York trails are fun. I've never managed an end-to-end, but I've gone from Whitehall to York and back a couple of times.
My favorite part is Maryland below the border. Very quiet and remote.

Well, this ride has been postponed till next weekend. Was at the vet till 2 am this morning, so couldnt get up in time to go. :(

Finaly got the ride in! 84 miles. Took me 7 hours though. :P
