Croom-Cedarville-Croom

In the spirit of the Spring Classics, we did a bit of a classic stage in our neck of the woods. Patuxent River Park and Cedarville State Park are separated by a mere 12 miles. But with good singletrack at each location, and nice backroads in between, you can turn this ride into a killer!
Larry, Greg and I started on the dirt roads of Patuxent River and made our way down to the sweet singletrack at Cedarville. This part of Prince Georges County is beautiful and most people have no idea it's here. I'll call it a secret stash. We ride a loop of rooty, fast singletrack at Cedarville and head back up through Croom on roads lacking a yellow center line...always a good sign! This is Southern Maryland, and it's obvious by the PRO horseshoe pits behind every bar. All are lighted, with small beer holding tables at each pit, and some covered for all weather action. Serious business. Back to Jug Bay and cold beers await.
