The perfect time of year for this beautiful ride in rural western Montgomery. We'll ride a casual "C" pace, with a sweep at all times; no one will be left behind.

The ride is mostly on low-traffic rural roads, with just a few short sections on highways. Rolling hills, but nothing too intimidating.

We'll take a break mid-way at the scenic Dickerson General Store. See "Western Montgomery Circuit" in the cue sheet library.

If the RIL parking lot is full, start driving back up Riley's Lock Road; there's another lot on your right just past Caleva.

Relatively clean port-a-johns - but no water - at starting point.

Lunch or refreshments afterwards in Poolesville or Darnestown.
