The Missing Link Connector is a short, flat mountain biking route in Maryland, about half a mile from the community of Rolling Knolls. It is an easy ride with no elevation gain, so it works well as a quick link between other trails in the area. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Annapolis show May highs around 77°F and October highs around 68°F, while July averages climb to about 89°F. Dogs are allowed on the route as long as they are leashed. The connector sits close to several other mountain biking routes, including Housley Loop and Overlook Connector, both about 0.2 miles away. Honeysuckle Through Trail and Woodland Loop are also within half a mile.
