Saturday's Routes:

Saturday Short Route: 

This is a 34 mile loop starting and ending at the Talbot County Community Center (TCCC).  From TCCC you will follow some quiet, pretty roads including Goldsborough Neck and Glebe Road until you connect with St. Michaels Road.  From there, you travel west along the broad shoulders of that road toward St. Michaels.  On the Eastern fringes of St. Michaels you will encounter your first rest stop at our sponsoring bike shop: TriCycle & Run.  From here, you retrace your steps slightly, heading back East and encountering shady Royal Oak Road and Bellevue Road which carry you to Bellevue park and the docks of the renown Oxford-Bellevue Ferry and your lunch stop, the second of the journey.  After enjoying a relaxing lunch, you enjoy a lovely ferry ride to Oxford where you take to the saddle again and ride through historic Oxford via Oxford Road and the wide shoulders of Peachblossom Road on your way back to Easton.  You stop off at Idlewild Park for your third rest stop, before Aurora Street leads you through historic Easton on your way North.  On the North end of Easton you bid farewell to your more adventuresome comrades riding the Century route and return to TCCC for a well-deserved supper.

Saturday Medium Route:

This is a 68 mile route, slightly longer than a Metric Century, but lacking in any hills to speak of.  It starts at the Talbot County Community Center (TCCC) and forms a loop with a tail extending out to the South and West.  From TCCC you will follow some quiet, pretty roads including Goldsborough Neck and Glebe Road until you connect with St. Michaels Road.  From there, you travel west along the broad shoulders of that road toward St. Michaels.  On the Eastern fringes of St. Michaels you will encounter your first rest stop at our sponsoring bike shop: TriCycle & Run.  From here, the path proceeds further west as it takes you on a tour of historic St. Michaels before taking again to the open countryside beyond.  Once you have gone as far West as the Chesapeake will permit, the road turns southward and carries you to Lowes Wharf on the inlet of Ferry Cove and your second rest stop.  From there, further South, across Knapps Narrows lays Tilghman Island and its quaint historic sites.  Beyond that, the path leads you out into the countryside and onto an ever diminishing spit of land until you finally arrive at Black Walnut Point and are exposed to the awesome vastness of the Chesapeake Bay:  Here you are welcomed to your third rest stop.  Retracing your steps gives you different look at Tilghman Island and takes you Northward and then eastward down Pot Pie Road to your fourth rest stop at the green grass of Wittman Park.  From there, a brief diversion from Tilghman Island Road carries you further north before turning eastward and getting a different view of St. Michaels.  From there, shady Royal Oak Road and Bellevue Road carry you to Bellevue Park and the docks of the renowned Oxford-Bellevue Ferry and your lunch stop, the fifth of the journey.  After enjoying a relaxing lunch, you enjoy a lovely ferry ride to Oxford where you take to the saddle again and ride through historic Oxford via Oxford Road and the wide shoulders of Peachblossom Road on your way back to Easton.  You stop off at Idlewild Park for your sixth rest stop before Aurora Street leads you through historic Easton on your way North.  On the North end of Easton you bid farewell to your more adventuresome comrades riding the Century route and return to TCCC for a well-deserved supper.

Saturday Long Route:

This is a full Century (100 mile) route that starts at the Talbot County Community Center (TCCC) and forms roughly a butterfly or figure-eight shape.  From TCCC you will follow some quiet, pretty roads including Goldsborough Neck and Glebe Road until you connect with St. Michaels Road.  From there, you travel west along the broad shoulders of that road toward St. Michaels.  On the Eastern fringes of St. Michaels you will encounter your first rest stop at our sponsoring bike shop: TriCycle & Run.  From here, the path proceeds further west as it takes you on a tour of historic St. Michaels before taking again to the open countryside beyond.  Once you have gone as far West as the Chesapeake will permit, the road turns southward and carries you to Lowes Wharf on the inlet of Ferry Cove and your second rest stop.  From there, further South, across Knapps Narrows lays Tilghman Island and its quaint historic sites.  Beyond that, the path leads you out into the countryside and onto an ever diminishing spit of land until you finally arrive at Black Walnut Point and are exposed to the awesome vastness of the Chesapeake Bay:  Here you are welcomed to your third rest stop.  Retracing your steps gives you different look at Tilghman Island and takes you Northward and then eastward down Pot Pie Road to your fourth rest stop at the green grass of Wittman Park.  From there, a brief diversion from Tilghman Island Road carries you further north before turning eastward and getting a different view of St. Michaels.  From there shady Royal Oak Road and Bellevue Road carry you to Bellevue Park and the docks of the renowned Oxford-Bellevue Ferry and your lunch stop, the fifth of the journey.  After enjoying a relaxing lunch, you enjoy a lovely ferry ride to Oxford where you take to saddle again and ride through historic Oxford via Oxford Road and the wide shoulders of Peachblossom Road on your way back to Easton.  You stop off at Idlewild Park for your sixth rest stop before Aurora Street leads you through historic Easton on your way North.  On the North end of Easton you bid farewell to your less adventuresome comrades riding the shorter routes and cross the highway at a traffic light heading East on blue highways such as Chapel Road and Kitty's Corner Road before arriving at your seventh rest stop in green Cordova Park.  From there, you head east before Lewistown Road takes you southward to another waterside watering hole at Covey's Landing.  Ever Southward, your path winds  until you can go no further and arrive at Kingston Landing on the banks of the Choptank River and your ninth and final rest stop.  From there, you encounter something uncommon on the Eastern Shore:  a few minor rollers as you wind your way West along Kinston Road and North along Black Dog Alley to return to TCCC for a well-deserved supper.
