MHBC Hagerstown Maryland Trip

April 16 - 20, 2025

Join fellow MHBC members on a 4 night trip to Hagerstown MD, where we will enjoy 3 days of riding around the surrounding countryside. Hagerstown was founded in 1762 and it’s nickname, “Hub City”, comes from how all the railroad lines running into Hagerstown resembled the spokes of a wagon wheel on the map. Hagerstown is in close proximity to a number of Civil War battle fields, including Gettysburg and Antietam. Our ride on Day 2 will take us through Antietam National Battle Field which was the location of the deadliest day in American military history with over 23,000 casualties.

We plan on staying at the Holiday Inn Express Hagerstown located at: 241 Railway Lane, Hagerstown MD 21740, Phone number: 301-745-5644. There are many hotels in the area and you are free to stay where you like, but all our our rides will leave from the parking lot of this hotel. Meals will be decided by the group when there. Our planned, day by day itinerary is listed below. Please contact the trip organizer, Jason Klock at #845-476-2927, if you have any questions. Please note: All trip expenses are the participant’s responsibility and you will be covered under the MHBC group insurance policy during the group rides.

Please signup on the Ride Calendar if you are interested in joining us on this trip.
