|   Seneca State Park Suggestions | Bib
Apr 25, 2002 5:57 AM | | I was planning a bachelor road trip to Bicycling Magazine's #4 of "Places to Ride this Summer." So what else is there in Gaithersburg, MD? Any Bars or good eats? Movies, anything?
Also, at the park, what is a good loop? Anything else there worth doing like canoeing or something? I live in southern PA so this is someplace relatively close on the list from the mag and I like to try and get to the different places that have been written about. I also figured that Since the reviews of thepark say it is easy, it would be good for the poor sap getting married b/c he is finally off the DL list from a broken collar bone.
Any and all suggestions are thanked in advance!
peace--db |

About 15 miles of tight, twisty single track with lots of logs. Not much climbing, but very fast trails. I don't hang out in gaithersburg much, but Rockville and Bethesda, which are a little further south, have tons of restarants and bars. |

In 2 hrs you can ride every trail in the park. Some AWESOME riding in Gambrill St. Park in Frederick, which is probably closer to you anyway.
There's a pretty good brew pub in G-burg, as well as Roy's Place, which is famous in the DC area for a ridiculously long list of Deli sandwiches.
Also, O'brien's Pit BBQ on Gude Dr. has good ribs. |
