Maps of Maryland's Counties

Get out and explore Maryland!   ABC’s Tour of Maryland is a cycling challenge to explore the great state of Maryland on your bicycle. ABC Adventure Rides are a great way to make progress toward this challenge, and often visit historical sites on their routes.

To earn the ABC Tour of Maryland Award, you:

• Are an ABC member in good standing (Must be a member when rides are earned)
• Earn all counties and Baltimore within a two-year period ending 31 DEC of the award year
  
• Ride at least 20 miles per ride in each of Maryland’s counties and Baltimore City
• Prove it via Strava, RidewithGPS, or MapMyRide publicly recorded rides

What is the award? You get your name listed on the ABC Tour of Maryland Wheel of Fame on the website and a personalized trophy or medal to commemorate your accomplishment. Awards are presented at the annual meeting and party and we'll happily get it to you if you can't make it.

Keep in mind:

• You can earn multiple counties in a single ride, if you log at least 20 miles per ride in each of the counties you enter.
• Participating in an ABC Adventure Ride is a great way to earn counties, however any ride qualifies.
• You may ride solo or with others.
• If you want help to create or lead a ride to earn a(some) specific counties, talk to the ABC Ride Coordinators.
• The Club will happily add your ride plans in advance on the Club event calendar, if you would like. Just submit them via Request a Ride link. Club rides are covered by insurance and others may join you. This is totally optional. (updated 3/27/26)
• There are 350 route examples in the RidewithGPS ABC members only route library.
• To earn progress, send an email to the ABC Ride Coordinator at rides AT annapolisbicycleclub.org. In the subject, put the words ‘Tour of MD’. In the body of the email, identify the counties you believe your ride(s) qualify for and a link to your activity on Strava, RideWithGPS, or MapMyRide.
