Schaeffer Race Course

From the Ex2 website.

A trial ride on the course trailhead to trailhead took 51:41, SS 32x16. The course minimizes the climbing thus a geared hardtail would be the best for time trial. Expect to see someone posting sub-40.

BTW, I plan to be a spectator of this race.

Gloomy Look at Eroded Trail

The climb near the Crystal Clear pond is severely eroded and became not rideable for mortals like me. Word is a much improved reroute will be created middle of this year. DKEG has all the details.

A developing Google map

Let me know if you like to collaborate on it.

Greenbrier

Greenbrier has mostly double trails with maps at intersections. Some long climbs and some nice descent. A few sections are rocky but less technical comparing to Gambrill. XC bikes are more appropriate here than long travel bikes. It is doable on a full rigid singlespeed.

Frederick Watershed

A little bit Hamburg south, a glimpse on the VW, and back to the parking lot, take right trail down Hamburg north, through the Tim's trail (or Enchanted Forest), speed down Fishing Creek Road, climb up Blue trail, down Crystal Clear...

Frederick Watershed and Gambrill Yellow

Hamburg South to Gambrill cell tower, follow the yellow loop, back to the Shed via cell tower, take lawnmower down, through the rock garden, ride by the pond, and back to the parking lot.

Schaeffer/HMC/BH Mini Epic

11 miles loop in Schaeffer, 5 miles loop in Black Hill, and 14 miles out and back on Hoyles Mill Connector. Solid 30 miles and 3+ hours riding.


Local weather station

Patapsco

Fast and smooth single track with some roots, stream crossing, and short climbing. Word is the trails get pretty soupy after rain.

Montgomery County Loop

Schaeffer Farm, Hoyles Mill Connector, Black Hill Regional Park, Little Bennett Regional Park, Damascus Recreational Park, Lower Magruder Branch Park, Great Seneca Park (Seneca Greenway), Seneca Creek State Park (Clopper Lake). 40+ miles, mostly on natural surface single or double trails. Some climbing in Little Bennett.
