I got out again late this afternoon. It was just too perfect a day not to. I headed down to the Savage River Reservoir. I did half a loop around before turning north and then west for a little dirt road paradise called Blue Lick. It is tree covered with cascading creek beds running along side and mountain hills rising above on both sides. It is so peaceful I expect to see the World Enduro guys come pounding through the creek bed at any moment.
I then headed back down to Savage River Road where I found a gate open which isn't usually open. No signs anywhere, so I took it as permission to ride on. This little 2 track climbed high above the reservoir on the west side. At the top, the views of the next several ranges were crystal clear. Tim, you need to get over to this one and run it before they lock it up. It is between Dry Run and Spring Lick on the west side of the Res.The colors were awesome; gold, yellow, red, brown, orange, and a wee bit if green. The roads are littered with multi covered carpeting and fallen pine needles, making for some fun cornering on the DRZ on slicks.
I am sure the leaves are just changing in central MD. But you guys are missing a pretty one out here. And you can't ride out here with out being on some sort of decent road, or non-road, as it were.
