That's right, I can't see going back. LOL. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for future rides! Thank you!

Thank you! 👍

Eventually I'm going to get one just for peace of mind. Have you used yours yet?

​@@brucethomas3929 No, the weather this week screwed with my biking schedule. Maybe Sunday if I'm lucky.

If you want to check it out, we parked at the lot to your right (@15:41). Head West/Southwest, cross the tributary, and you will see the path that leads you onto the remains of the old road. Then enjoy exploring!

I'd love to see the inside of the church. The HC side has easier access but that weekend, there were just too many people to contend with to explore the trails. The BC side was definitely physically challenging and the overgrowth of vegetation made things difficult to see. You could probably see more ruins in early spring. In 1968 the Daniels company bulldozed the community and in 1972, hurricane Agnes finished the job. Thank you for viewing Forest! More rides to come!

It's mounted on my chest and I'm limited because I have to turn my whole body. I'll see what I can do about your request.

@brucethomas3929 ah sweet man. Helmet cams aren't safe anyway I just misheard you in the video. Don't sweat it too much! Normally it's not an issue!

You're very welcome! Thank you for subscribing!

Thanks. It wasn't intended. I thought we'd be doing around 33 miles. 😂

@@brucethomas3929 ...oops.... :)

That hill! 😳

Yes they were. I had an IM Bruce moment. LOL.

@@brucethomas3929 ...i know...I liked it...

I would have tried to get a better vantage point but he state has been neglectful with trimming back the vegetation from the path. There's a huge difference between my video and videos created on the same path from 2-3 years ago. Thanks so much for watching my friend!

There was a lot of people swimming there... 95% of which were the ones that made you enact parking permits when you were the Mayor.

@@brucethomas3929 ..ha ha ha

@@brucethomas3929 Did you notice all the new 'No Parking' signs along the edge of the road? They have been installing them on roads that border the park - particularly if there is water access. Where you pop out of Patapsco State's parks swining bridge onto Bonnie Branch Road/River Road? In the summer I've seen them running tow trucks for 'illegally parked' vehicles of people enjoying the river.

I think the photos helped to give it added context. I watched your entire video too but couldn't leave comments because I watched it on a big screen tv.

@@brucethomas3929 ..Thank you! No worries.

I called her that because she has skipping across the rocks and logs like they weren't even there. LOL.

I was. I was just praying for the best.

Still all a part of Patapsco Valley State Park. The park is huge!

​@@brucethomas3929You aren't kidding! I just looked it up on the map, basically the entire river from the mouth in the inner harbor all the way up to Liberty Reservoir is parkland!

Yes. A previous creator said they had no electricity or running water but that looks like a light on the steeple of the church.

Thanks. I happened upon a UA-cam video and my curiosity took over.

Haha. The jets from BWI were flying overhead and an old Pan Am jingle came to mind from my boyhood days.

LOL. You're telling the truth! It has been the bane of my bike tours.

Really!?? Wow! That is amazing! I live minutes from the former FSK bridge and I haven't been able to find a vantage point to view its remains. I wish I would have thought of Ft. Smallwood park. Thank you!

@@brucethomas3929 Best viewing location is halfway between the fort and the pavilion near basketball court. There is a parking area and the large playground on the other side of the road.

The school and cabin was being at the right place at the right time. I'm happy that bit of information is now in my brain. 😄

Hey Forest! I hope you and your wife had a wonderful vacation! I've also seen that cabin for years and years and wondered about its history. It was a real treat that it was open.

@@brucethomas3929 we had a great time, thanks!

Thanks Forest. Makes sense.

Yes. I thought it was a treat.

Thank you! I'm a nerd at heart, trying to keep the videos interesting and have some depth to them. I don't know if that's what people want. I lost a subscriber.

Haha. We're doing just fine. LOL.

@@brucethomas3929 ...i like pink...

@@IMBruceECLECTIC On women, yes. They know how to work it.

@@brucethomas3929 ...I have pink shirts.......

Thank you Brother!

True!

Thanks!

Daily! 😂

I'll look at the Goat. I'm more interested in range.

Not this time. I said why in the video.

I would have enjoyed it more with a stronger headlight. I have a very strong light that I'll add.

My major criticism is that Wallke is not consistent with their manufacturing and it seems that they make changes every few months, so that out of the 4 Wallkes we have, only two bikes are able to swap batteries.

@@brucethomas3929 I had a thought that that maybe you swapped a battery meant for the 15 amp bike with the one for the 28 amp bike. Such that the battery couldn't provide the power demanded by the controller. Normally I wouldn't consider that, but Walkies have that neat drop in battery system.

@@ebike_tinkerer Oh, I see. No, they're not swappable.

Thank you Brother Bruce! Love back at ya!

Not from MD but operated in the Chesapeake and Delaware bays around 1717.

@@brucethomas3929 ....you are a lover of History....outstanding! and thanks for understanding my auto spell ....

@@brucethomas3929 That was one of the coolest but of MD history I learned once moving to the state. The amount of Pirates the bay was astounding.

@@ebike_tinkerer I learned about them through a coworker and I was very surprised.

@@brucethomas3929 If you have any grandchildren there is a fun pirate boat adventure down in Annapolis. While your out on the water doing pirate things the staff talks allot about the pirates of the Chesapeake. It got both my kids really into the subject and it was fun on a hot summer day.

Not our luxury Brother.

@brucethomas3929 ...you do know...signs without legislative authority have no force.....

SMH. To think I paid >$50 for it...

@@brucethomas3929 After seeing both you and Blaine from Southern Ebiking struggle with the app I'm going to stick with Google maps and Relive for route tracking.

@@brucethomas3929 I switched over to strava. Wayyyy better imho but I get wanting to get what you paid for

@@ahmedatia727 I had Strava years ago but recently I thought Komoot was better for trails. I may have to revisit Strava.

😮😂 Now they can take you to O'Burger Fi! LOL.

Thanks so much Brother Ahmed! Thanks so much for enjoying my videos. Fiji! Wow! I enjoyed seeing your pictures and videos as well, so the feeling is mutual. What takes you to Fiji?

@@brucethomas3929 My wife and I came to celebrate our 7 year anniversary and her birthday. 🤓

@@ahmedatia727 Congratulations! Happy Anniversary Brother!

I learned something from you about the Nike Missile Site. The one in Granite sounds worthy of a possible bike ride. There's also one in Phoenix, MD. The one that I actually saw was on a back road in the Beltsville area, near the Goddard Space Center. But it looked more up to date than the ones decommissioned.

@@brucethomas3929 if you check out the Military Wiki (Google list of Nike Sites) they have an excellent list of all the US sites and their current status (building that are still standing). During that time Hawk missile systems were also deployed, though they didn't need permanent structures. One such battery was located on the grounds of the old Ft Armistead Gun Battery (South end of the Key Bridge). I think that might be in bike range of your home. Granite is a pretty area, but it has hills!

Hey Forest, the first time I went to Catonsville, it was all back roads through warehouses, the back streets of Arbutus and through UMBC. I tried to get Komoot to utilize nearby trail instead of all street.

@@brucethomas3929 I like Arbutus, good pizza place there called Sorrento's, and yeah it's right next to UMBC and Catonsville so that would be an awesome trip! I'm not familiar with trails on that area other than the single tracks into Patapsco Park from Rolling Road. I think the NYC crew used that park and ride near UMBC as the starting point for one of their MD rides, maybe we should check it out sometime.

@@brucethomas3929 When I first saw your video title I was thinking maybe you went through Patapsco then cut up Hilltop Road after you left the park. That would drop you on Frederick Rd on the western end of Catonsville. But that climb up Hilltop would be brutal!

@@ebike_tinkerer My intention was to go through Patapsco. Thank God we got home just in time to escape a severe thunder storm, so things worked out for the best.

Thanks so much for coming along. We go on a number of interesting and beautiful rides. Subscribe and come along with us! ☺

Thank you for watching. There's another hill in the area that's even worse and take's 10% of battery each time!

Thanks for watching Forest! I hope that you're enjoying your GOAT. I've been watching more reviews and it's quite a bike!

I see. I had a friend who worked there as an engineer when it was Westinghouse.

No special equipment, just the mics on the camera. I use the DJI Pocket 2
