Do your weekend plans involve ice cream? If not, they should!

This week's ride spotlight takes us to Misty Meadow Creamery and the quiet roads in the valley east of Hagerstown. We’ll cycle past an 1862 stone bridge, beautiful farm land and houses, and end up back at the Creamery for lunch and/or ice cream.
