April Catocton Series - 4/21

Save some weight and leave the big ring at home. Or maybe more appropriately, take your big ring and install it on your rear cassette.

This ride may be re-scheduled, weather dependent. Ride leader would like to have a good chance for dry roads for safety on the speedy downs.

This ride showcases 4 of PJAMM Cycling's 22 Maryland Climbs on the Catoctin Mountain. Explore all of the the climbs through the links to the PJAMM details below; create your own personalized 'bucket list' of climbs to complete with a free PJAMM account.

The 1st climb is a 5.2 mile climb up 1316 feet at 4.8% and a FIETS of 1.88. PJAMM's #20 Rated Catoctin Hollow is only a portion of this climb: 4.3% average 884 foot climb over 3.8 miles and has a FIETS rating of 1.1. Cruise past the parking lot and head down the west side to...

The 2nd climb is #12 Rated Fisher's Hollow climbs 889 feet over 2.5 miles at 6.7% for a FIETS of 1.8. If you are burned out after this climb, take a left on Gambrill's Park Rd back to the car. Otherwise, continue straight down Hamburg Road on the east side to...

The 3rd climb is #11 Rated MD Climb, a 3 mile, 1,008 ft 6.4% average grade known as Hamburg Road with a FIETS rating of 2.0. The second half of this climb runs through the Frederick Municipal Forest. If you are ready for Frederick take a right at the top on Gambrill's Park Road back to the car, or continue back down the west side to...

The 4th ascent of Catoctin is #3 Rated Middlepoint Road. It climbs 790 feet over 1.4 miles at 10.6% for a FIETS of 2.5. Take an easy 1/2 mile back to the car, clean up, and then to one of the local breweries to replenish...Smoketown Creekside, ATTABOY BEER, or Idiom brewing are three possibilities.

Tuesday Eve South County 26.3 miles · +1,044 ft (04/21/2026)

Tue, 21 Apr 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: Davidsonville Park on Patuxent River Road. We meet across from the pavilion 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 gas station at the intersection of Harwood Road and Route 2.

Ride leader: 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.

Discussion about multi-day rides for ABC

Hi, all! As I said in the annual meeting, I want to talk about what multi-day ride event people would like to do this year.

The last two years, we've done the Ride Across Maryland. For me, having done it twice in a row, I don't want to burn it out and keep doing it. My thought is that we hold this every other year, and alternate with other events. That said, if many people are committed to riding this RAM this year, I'll pull off and let someone else take my spot (I may be able to help SAG).

Other options:

1. I've been kicking around the idea of a GAP/C&O Canal trip, or a Blue Ridge Parkway/Skyline Drive trip. We can talk a little about these. There may be other ideas.

2. Another bike club I'm in has "destination rides", as I think of them, where they'll go to a city (last year, one destination was Annapolis), stay in a hotel or AirBNB, and then do several rides in that area over the long weekend. This has the advantage of simpler logistics. They also do a similar destination trip to the Finger Lakes region each year. Off the top of my head, I can think of a few potential destinations, like Charleston, SC or State College, PA.

3. We could simply join another event, like Festivelo in South Carolina, or the Monument to Monument ride the Air Force does each fall (John T. has ridden this the last few years).

4. Maybe you have other ideas. Bring them to the meeting!

Thanks.

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

Sun, 04 Oct 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Dear Club Member,

With three weeks to go until the Lifeline 100 Bicycle Event we need ten additional volunteers, primarily at the BWI/Dixon rest stop.

Please volunteer - this is a great way to give back to the cycling community, promote the club, and get to know your fellow club members!

We thank the club members who have already volunteered!

This year’s Lifeline 100 will take place on Sunday October 5, 2025! 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

o Crofton Park - LJ Reiter, Captain

o Dixon Observation Area (at BWI) - Tina McDermott, Captain

o Galesville Wharf waterfront park - RJ Marquette, Captain

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 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 (expenses reimbursed).

Please volunteer by contacting the ABC Lifeline volunteer coordinator, Jim Black, either by e-mail at JamesMBlack@iCloud.com, or 202-320-7932, or contact at a club ride.

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 5, 2025.

NEW! - You may register on line as well and Jim will contact you.

Thank you !
