Giro de Birra #3: Schaffer Farms & Dogfish Head Sat March 29

PLEASE POST ON WEBSITE FOR GIRO DE BIRRA :

Thanks for your interest in the Giro De Birra Mountain Bike Ride at Schaffer Farms. Here is the Location of the trail, we will meet here at 11 AM. Unfortunately, you will need a car to get to the trail head, AND to the brewpub, and then to get home. However, this ride is going to be excellent, and I think that everyone will have a lot of fun. We will do a beginner loop, and depending on how people feel we will run the trail twice. This ride is cyclocross bike friendly.

This is the trailhead, use google maps to get directions to this spot.

This is the driving directions to the brewpub.

giro de birira # 1: Baltimore

It was a great day of riding. Altogether, there were 9 of us. The thermometer said 50 but the wind said something else. At a few points, it was a struggle just to move forward.

I'm getting better with the helmet cam (if you happen to want one of these, we can order it for you through the shop :)

Here's the evidence, set to the sweet sounds of Caleb Stine and the Brakemen.
