  • 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.
Sounds good. What day/time were you thinking for the weekday cruise?
