We lunched at the Colonial Hotel and Tavern where the beer was cold and the cheese fries were hot. Half way through, lunch and the third pitcher of Yingling Premium Lager, we spotted Al heading south on the trail and pulled him in for some potato soup. Was it the cheese fries or the beer that made our return trip so much speedier? Probably the incline in our favor did it. A good time was had by all. We may have to make a multi ride out of this trail next year. Guess who was back first? We'll have some pictures on the web site soon.

On the way up we were treated to lovely views of Gunpowder Falls
