Three Ramps on a Spring Evening

This ride was laid out by Gail Morrell (and mapped by CE Taylor), in part to avoid road work on Harrell: 446 and Knightsridge Road to Pine Grove; down and back up from the boat ramp; down Swartz Ridge and up Stipp; then Handy and down and back up Ramp Creek; back into town via Fairfax and Cardinal Glen.

Gail writes

It was a great ride!  Fifteen people showed up and 12 did the whole ride.  Three people had to cut it short due to time constraints so they turned right at the bottom of Swartz Ridge, while the rest of us went up Stipp and then out to Ramp Creek.  I found out later that evening after I got home that Harrell is paved and back open again.

Klaus Rothe, unofficial club photographer, took this opportunity to document the ride. Here's his photo from the climb up from Pine Grove boat ramp:
