At the beginning of the month I got in lots of riding during a week in Maryland. The second ride was a trail ride up at Catoctin Mountsin Park with Lindsey and Kelly.
We did a nice loop over about two hours, over well marked and manicured trails. Towards the end we came to a fork in the trail with the sign broken and propped against a tree. We picked a fork and popped out into a camp ground. Clearly we picked the wrong fork. But a really friend park employee stopped and told us to continue through the campground to the trail connection just a short ways ahead. That the correct fork is extremely overgrown and has a large downed tree. We took her advice and finished our ride all smiles.
The parking area was easy to find and well marked with a nice turn around and parking space for a couple rigs. A good ride and a nice location for a lovely day in the shaded woods. The ride was somewhat rocky but not too bad and with only minor climbs and decents. Nice location.
