That sounds good. I would like to be a part of that, and please let me know if I can help with anything. We are only about 15 minutes from PrettyboyResrvoir. If you would like to erxtend the route into Pennsylvania along the state line, I can suggest some good roads.

Ditto. I frequent the Glen Rock area where my parents live.

2Red feel free to let me know some of the roads around the line.....i trust you since you live up there, but i have really had bad/bumpy luck with PA roads

OK - I'll do some planning and mapping (smooth PA roads only) for you to look at, then we can go from there . I will PM you my email and contact info.

It was a real nice evening so my wife and I ran part of the Prettyboy route you suggested a while back this evening: Middletown Rd to Beckleysville Rd to Spooks Hill Rd, across the dam, then Traceys Store Road to Foreston Rd and back to Beckleysville.

Good thing they don't enforce the 25 MPH speed limit (as far as I know) on Spooks Hill. We did stir up a couple of deer - so we'll have to watch out for critters.

Here is a 44 mile loop that we could tack on to the Prettyboy run. It starts and ends at Middletown Rd and Beckleysville Rd. There are some really interesting (and smooth) roads and generally not much traffic.

Have a bigger version of that? Looks like the route goes up 516 right passed my parents house. I know those roads pretty well. Off of 516 about 1/2 mile north of the 216 interestection is Rockville rd. That road is a fun one to drive. It takes you out to 616.
