Find cycling partners in Baltimore, MD

Baltimore riding mixes tight rowhouse streets with a surprising amount of stream-valley green. The Jones Falls and Gwynns Falls trails cut wooded corridors right through the city, and just north the NCR/Torrey C. Brown Trail runs deep into Maryland horse country.

It's a compact, characterful place to ride — short punchy hills in town, long quiet trail miles a few minutes out, and a tight-knit crew that turns up for reservoir loops when the weather's good.

Where to ride in Baltimore

• Gwynns Falls Trail — Runs about 15 miles from the Inner Harbor out through Leakin Park's woods.

• Torrey C. Brown (NCR) Trail — Crushed-stone rail-trail from Hunt Valley north to Monkton and the Pennsylvania line.
• Loch Raven Reservoir — Loch Raven Drive closes to cars on weekends for a classic, rolling road loop.
• BWI Trail — A paved ~12-mile loop around the airport — flat and steady, good for base miles.

Baltimore's road and gravel community is small but tight, and its downtown protected-lane network keeps growing. Reservoir loops and the NCR trail are the weekend staples. Local advocacy runs through Bikemore.
