Leaving from the Shepherdstown Food Lion Parking lot at 5:30 pm sharp. We stop at all corners and nobody gets left behind. This ride will have two groups: B riding 18-20 miles and C/D riding 14-16 miles. The C/D group avoids the biggest hills and roads with a lot of traffic. The rides will be canceled if the roads are wet.  First time riders early in the season may fall into the E classification, but generally become C or D riders throughout the year.

The Bakerton/Bavarian ride is 17-23 miles of rolling, and in some cases hilly terrain. An occasional C & D ride generally leaves 30 minutes before the A & B ride. Though they may leave at different times, groups arrive back at the start at nearly the same time. Riders stop and regroup at most, if not all, of the turns along the way. Even the shortest of options is still a challenging ride. This is not a beginner friendly ride due to it's length & terrain. Start time will move to 6:00 as daylight increases. *The Bakerton Ride will alternate leaving from and returning to the Bakerton Store and Bavarian Brothers Brewing in Shepherdstown every other week. Check the club facebook pages for start point. Riders may opt* to stay for beverages after the ride.
