Basic North
Beach Loop
Roughly 60 miles over moderate terrain with a terrific
midpoint rest on the boardwalk in North
Beach. Ride begins at the Park-and-Ride at the
Davidsonville Exit from Route 50 (Exit 16).
The route looks more complicated than it is because at times the same
road you’re on undergoes several name changes.
From the point where you turn L on Owensville Sudley Road you basically stay
straight on the same road through several name changes until the T cross at Fairhaven. Likewise, from the L onto Friendship
Road you stay on the same road until you arrive in
North Beach
although it goes through several name changes, curves and bends. It will be obvious when you’re on the route.
