There is an e-mail list for members that is used for these rides, maintained by Jim Miner jnlminer1@gmail.com. Typically, a ride announcement is sent out the night before, allowing riders to respond positively that they are coming. In good weather, this isn’t critical but when the weather is iffy, this allows last minute changes. Let Jim know you would like to be added to the list or in good weather, just show up.

The following are the primary routes used for these rides:

Faster group, 29 miles: ridewithgps.com/routes/43376261

Tuesday Eve South County 26 miles · +1,044 ft - FROM D'VILLE PARK (08/25/2026)

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 21:30:00 GMT

2026 South Anne Arundel County Evening

Join us for the evening south county ride on Tuesdays in the spring, summer, and fall.

Note this tends to be a faster ride - 18-19 mph average speeds are normal. We sometimes have a slower group, but that is not guaranteed. Please contact RJ if you're wondering about a slower group for a specific week.

Starting point: START AT Davidsonville Park on Patuxent River Road. We meet across from the baseball field in the park: Go straight in and park in the lot across from the pavilion. There are a few shaded spots if you turn right just after the ball fields, but we've been warned it's a foul ball landing zone.

Departure time: 5:30 PM

Route: 26 Miles – Patuxent River Rd → Harwood Rd → Right on Rt 2 → Right on Bayard → Right on South Polling House → Left on Polling House → Right on Bayard → Right on Sands → Left on Patuxent River Rd, back to park.

There are options for shorter routes or slower rides - please let RJ know if you're interested in one of these.

We'll regroup at the 7-11 gas station at the intersection of Harwood Road and Route 2.

Ride leaders:

Faster ride, 17-19 mph: RJ Marquette. Register to let the ride leader know you plan to attend and receive weather updates & cancellations.

Slower pace/shorter ride: We are still looking for a ride leader for people who are looking for a slower or shorter ride. Please email rides@annapolisbicycleclub.org if you'd like to help!

Inclement weather: We'll do our best to make a go/no-go decision around 4:15 p.m., based on the rain and thunderstorm outlook during the riding hours. RJ uses this weather forecast along with radar from Windy. We generally do NOT cancel because of heat alone, but we will ease up on the pace, if necessary.

Route changes: To avoid confusion, we will only adjust the route due to serious issues, such as road closures, inclement weather, mechanical issues, and similar emergencies.

Rails and Roads - 50 miles across Cecil and Harford Counties (AR) (ToM) (09/17/2026)

Thu, 17 Sep 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Hey Transportation Adventurers, Cyclists, and Rail Fans,

this Adventure Ride is for you!

AND

Tired of driving to adventure rides? Busy roads got you down? Tired of tolls but want to get out of the local area? Here's something different...

All members are welcome but there is a course time limit. More on that...

Ride Leader and Rail Fan: John Tyrrell. I've been on these trains with bikes before and they do a good job.

This will be a moderate and steady C ride over 50 miles and 3,000 ascent, not a racy ride. Will stay together. You may ride much faster but don't get too far ahead.

This route will cover Cecil and Harford Counties. Great for participants in the ABC Tour of Maryland Challenge.

Amtrak train ride to the start of the cycling route:

Meet at the BWI Amtrak rail platform by 9am. Park in the BWI Amtrak rail station garage for $12. Sharing car rides to Amtrak will save costs. I have room for me and 3 more riders in my Tahoe and rack.

Hop on Amtrak train 86 Northeast Regional departing BWI station at 9:17am. The fare is $24 at www.amtrak.com. I bought a fully refundable ticket in case of lousy weather. Buy your ticket early for reduced fares. You can buy the ticket on the train or at the station but the price will be higher.

Arrive at Newark, Delaware station NRK at 10:10am. This station is on the border of Cecil County, MD. Have breakfast or nap along the way. Start cycling upon arrival.

The cycling route:

Cycle this 50 mile / 3,000 climb route from our club Ride with GPS library.

1) Warm up 5 miles to Cecil County, MD line.

2) Cycle 21 miles across Cecil County and the Conowingo Dam road (we've done it before. Its OK, just be patient). Break stop before crossing dam road. Several options around mile 20. Might see some bald eagles at the dam.

3) Then cycle 24 miles across Harford County and finish at the Edgewood, MD MARC train station (Md Rail Commuter) at 2125 Old Edgewood Rd on the MARC Penn Line by 2:35pm or sooner. Lots of break stop options at mile 37.

MARC Train back to our cars at BWI station:

Hop on MARC train 537 at 2:51pm for $8 in Edgewood, MD. All MARC trains feature nice bike rack areas. This is the last train of the day.

Here is MARC train information. And, MARC Train Video. You can get the tickets from the MARC app or in the BWI station before we train to the start. You can buy tickets onboard.

Finally, arrive back at BWI rail station at 3:30pm. Celebrate the adventure with a full cooler.

Cycling distance, time and average speed requirement:

So, that means you'll need to ride 50 miles in 4.5 hours for a minimum average speed of 12 mph to catch the train home. Will need to factor in some brief stops along the way. We should finish well before the deadline, but just wanted to lay it out.

Feel free to call if you have questions.

Aaaalllll ABoaaard!

Annual Lifeline 100 Rides - Rest Stop Volunteers (non ride) (10/04/2026)

Sun, 04 Oct 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Thank you to everyone who has already volunteered! We still need many more volunteers to staff the four rest stops and the Davidsonville Water Stops. Please volunteer - it's a great way to give back to the biking community, promote the club, and get to know your fellow members.

HOW TO VOLUNTEER

Please volunteer by contacting the ABC Lifeline volunteer coordinator, Jim Black, either by email at JamesMBlack@iCloud.com, or by phone at 202-320-7932. Or, speak with Jim Miner at a ride or a Third Thursday dinner.

In your e-mail please let us know if you're flexible to work at any rest stop, or whether you prefer to work at a particular rest stop. The event date is Sunday, October 4, 2026.

This year’s Lifeline 100 will take place on Sunday October 4, 2026! The Lifeline 100 showcases Anne Arundel County’s scenic trails and roadways, teaches cycling awareness, safety and its benefits, and has grown every year to draw hundreds of cyclists and supporters from around the Mid-Atlantic.

The event raises funds to support local non-profits, including the Crisis Response System, Anne Arundel Food Bank, and BikeAAA. It is expected to draw 1,000 riders this year. ABC has been a major contributor to its success since the first Lifeline 100 in 2014.

ABC members staff the four major rest stops for the Lifeline century and metric routes. This is the primary opportunity for us to give back to the cycling community, supporting BikeAAA’s advocacy on behalf of cyclists, and to help promote our Club.

We need about 35 volunteers to staff the four major rest stops and the Century Route water stops:

o Bay Ridge Swim Club - Joe Hawkins, Captain (filled)

o Crofton Park - Doug Corby, Captain

o Dixon Observation Area (at BWI) - Jennifer Meyers, Captain

o Galesville Wharf waterfront park - RJ Marquette, Captain (almost filled)

o Water Stops: We need a pair of volunteers to handle two water stops to support riders on the Century Route. The locations are on Rutland Road by the Route 50 overpass and at the Davidsonville Park pavilion.

o Rest Stop Support: We need a volunteer to support the Crofton and BWI rest stops; this involves some driving and shopping for ice, water, and food items at grocery stores (purchases for Lifeline will be reimbursed).

Thank you !
