Hi- Our family loves weekend bike rides and we have hit the trails
all around the metro region that we have found in various guide
books, and look forward to more biking this spring! This past
weekend, we did a portion of the C+O from Riley's Lock up towards
White's Ferry. I would love to see more families getting into biking.
It's such great fun. We are excited about the Cheverly club and look
forward to meeting fellow neighbor bikers. We have gone on most of
the metro region's trails (Baltimore and Annapolis is one that is
close to Cheverly, just out route 50) and is flat and very pleasant.
Not sure if all trails need to be in biking distance from Cheverly or
if people like to drive and then bike; but we are interested in
learning new trails, and repeating some favorites. We are up for new
adventures in biking and look forward to rolling! When's the next
ride?
Daphne, Jeffrey and Devin (age 9)
