Join in the most popular ABC Ride of the year! The Annual St. Michael's / Oxford Rides

This is a ride for all ABC members, all speeds and there will be multiple groups. Ride through Talbot County and take a trip across the Tred-Avon river on one of Maryland's three ferry crossings. All routes take a break at the Oxford Town Park for lunch / snacks.

Wear your ABC jersey! We will take a club photo at the Oxford Town Park.  

3 rides:

1) Leave the starting area at 9:00 (new earlier time) for a nice 40 mile ride at 14 MPH, no-drop, out towards Tilghman and then retrace back to St. Michael's and on to Oxford. Ride Leader will be Jim Black who provides this 40 route and cue sheet. 

With a 9:00 AM departure we should arrive at the ferry station around 11 to 11:15 AM assuming 90 minutes cycling time and a rest stop at the porta-potties in Perry Cabin Park. 

2) Start at 8:15 for a 60 mile route, that runs to the end of Tilghman island, back to St. Michael's and on to Oxford. This is the 60 mile route. Jim Miner will coordinate the start and plans to ride the route at a 16mph average. 

3) Start at 7:00 for an 80 mile route, that heads down to Long Point, then Tilghman Island, then back to St. Michael's and on to Oxford. Ride Leader is Chris Higgins.

Water/Refueling Stops: For the 60 an 80 mile routes...you may need a stop prior to reaching Oxford for more water.

On Tilghman Island, there are two spots: Fairbank Tackle, south side of the drawbridge or Tilghman Island Country Store, south of the Drawbridge on the east side of the road.

The next location available is back in St. Michael's...extra water in your car, or High's gas station on the west side as you are leaving town.

Start times are 'designed' for the groups to meet up on the road on the way to Oxford.  


Start location is at the St. Michael's Elementary School. Be ready to start at the start time of your route above. 

Bring ~$6 cash for the ferry boat fee.
