North Beach Extended

 

Adds an approximately 15 mile loop to the basic North Beach route to bring the total mileage up to roughly 75 miles.  The first four miles or so south of Chesapeake Beach are a long series of big rolling hills that provide a challenging workout.  The rest of the extension covers moderate terrain with a notable hill or two. The section of the cue sheet between the two REST STOPs contains the extension.  See the North Beach cue sheet for a description of the basic North Beach route.
