The NCR trail is the old Northern Central Railroad that now runs from Hunt Valley, MD to York, PA. This ride is from milepost 5 to the PA state line. The grade is quite friendly, rarely rising more than 2-3 degrees. However, I couldn’t resist a little jaunt off the trail to tackle 2 very quiet adjacent hills. The trail runs along the Gunpowder River, a renowned trout fishing hotspot providing a picturesque backdrop to this valuable resource
