After honor box, go 1/2 mile then turn right at first park STOP sign, (its a fork, can only go L or R).
After that, make a quick left past Williams Offutt Johnson parking lot. This left will be Glen Artney Rd (not labeled).
Go 0.3 miles. Park at lot that says Lost Lake on map bulletin board. You’ll be next to a small pond/lake. We embark on our e-bikes from this lot to start e-biking on Grist Mill trail. The Grist Mill Trail follows along the waterway of the Patapsco River.

After our ride on the Grist Mill Trail, we’ll head over to Judges Bench to refuel and relax together.

This will be a laid-back group lunch — a chance to cool down, grab something delicious, and enjoy good conversation after a morning on the trail. Whether you rode the whole route or just want to join us for the food and laughs, you’re welcome.

Enough with the wine! Let’s drink bourbon like we pay our own bills and mean it.

The Roses are heading to Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Fest in Timonium for a night of drinks, BBQ and live musi. This one’s for the girls who like their pours strong, their food messy, and their laughs loud.

### 🌹 What to Expect:

• Tastings of bourbon
• All the BBQ you can dream of (ribs, brisket, pulled pork… yes please)
• Live music + festival vibes
• Mix of classy, casual, and slightly unhinged fun

### 💬 Good to Know:

• This is a public festival — you’ll need to purchase your own ticket
• Pace yourself, hydrate, and look out for each other (Roses rules 🌹)

Come for the bourbon. Stay for the laughs. Leave with BBQ on your fingers and zero regrets.

Tickets will sell fast! Please buy your tickets soon!
