I'm out today.

Last night, though, I took a run to Loch Raven Reservoir and Pretty Boy Reservoir. I think we need to cruise it. Here's a couple notes.

• I want to cruise on a week day next time, so that we can experience the entire length of Loch Raven Drive. It's gorgeous, and sections are closed every weekend.
• Driving Falls Road up to Pretty Boy from Shawan Rd is a long gorgeous drive in itself.
• Pretty Boy is all twisty, windy roads in a rural area. It's all farmland out there.
• The route I took was wonderful. I crossed a bridge on Beckleysville Rd, then turned right on Spook Hill Rd, which has awesome curves, then stayed right on Pretty Boy Dam Rd, which crossed back over the Reservoir via a cobblestone road on the dam itself.
• The road conditions aren't great. I was flinging rocks, and I hit a pothole large enough to bounce me a good 2-3 feet off the ground.
• I'm going to map a cruise that probably starts in Towson, jaunts us up Falls Rd, performs the complete loop around Pretty Boy, and then cuts over to Loch Raven, ending in Towson.
