The National Central Railroad Trail (aka Torrey C. Brown Tail), known in Maryland as the NCR Trial, is a popular and true rails-to-trail bike path maintained in part by the Gunpower Falls State Park. The trail runs north-south and connects Hunt Valley, Maryland with York, Pennsylvania. It is approximately 45 miles in length and the terrain is relatively flat. Once in Pennsylvania, the trail becomes the Heritage Rail Trail County Park. This combo trail description claims it is 48 miles long, while this one claims it is only 41 miles long – so, as always, only YOUR odometer knows for sure!

Bikes & Beers at Victory Brewing, PA

July 20, 2021August 7, 2021Kellie Boyle

We finally got to do our first Bikes & Beers ride after all of their events were cancelled in 2020. (Sorry, we weren’t interested in paying $100 to do a “virtual ride.”) But we’re glad to report that it was really fun and worth the wait. While the organization hosts rides all over the country, this one, which began and ended at Victory Brewing in Parkesburg, Pennsylvania, had appealed to us because…who doesn’t love Golden Monkey?! (With an ABV of 9.5%, it doesn’t take many to get a party started!)
