I know exactly where this is, and I have driven Ridge Road instead of Race Road, and it is pretty nice.

Can you post a google map when you get a chance?

Shahid, if you end up using any of these routes I want some rep! I can't be a postwhore like you so I'm going for the quality posts instead of quantity!

My nephew lives out in Keyser WV. Route 50 from Winchester VA to 220 N and Keyser is a good road. 220 from Keyser up to Cumberland is good as well. It is mostly VA though so spirited driving might have associated problems. 50 gets twisty out there though. I had fun when I wasn't behind the geriatric types.

This is a good link run from Frederick MD for the Deep Creek Lake cruise noted above.

Might have to check those out on the way to/from Deep Creek if I go out there again.

Frederick County / Harford County
Figure 8 loop around Frederick
65 miles
There are twists, turns and good straight-aways on this route. The roads are all asphalt which are fairly well maintained.

Link to map: Libertytown, 8, Liberty, MD to Libertytown, 8, Liberty, MD - Google Maps

Frederick County
Rt 17
30 miles
This route can be linked to the route above for a really good drive. Either direction traveled will be satisfying. This scenic route will take you through several small towns ( One of these small towns is Burkittsville, MD - home of 'the Blair Witch) providing where you can stop for food or gas. The road has sweeping turns and straightaways as well as limited stop signs and various speed limits allow for a fun drive. Link it to Route 77 for a longer drive

Howard County
Ellicott City Loop
10.2 miles
Great road to drive and there are great places to get breakfast or lunch downtown. The circuit passes through Old Town Ellicott City and along a river with hills on all sides. There are quite a few twists and turns on this route including 2 blind 90 degree turns and 1 blind 270 degree turn. Nice straight away as well.
