ABRT Saturday Ride This is the “premier” ABRT group ride. This ride has been in existence since before the formation of ABRT over 30 years ago. The ride is 60 miles and travels to south to North Beach in Calvert County, mostly on smaller roads, and back. The ride takes 2:45 to 3:15 pedaling time (18-21+ mph, slower in winter) and is about 60 miles. The first part of the ride usually stays together for the most part and very often on the second half the ride will split into various groups. Often there will be a dedicated slower “B” group (16-18 mph) which will let the faster riders go and this group typically does a shorter ride of 42 miles to Deale and there are often regroup spots.
