Missing Link Connector is a short, easy singletrack trail in Maryland, about 0.7 miles from the town of Rolling Knolls. It is a green circle route, rated easy, and its gentle grades and forgiving surfaces make it a good choice for riders new to singletrack. The trail is a connector, which means it links other trail segments. That makes it an easy way to extend a ride or move between different parts of the trail network. It sits at nearly the same elevation throughout, with a total gain of zero feet, so there is no climb to plan for. 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 about 89°F. Several other trails start within a short distance. Honeysuckle Through Trail and Solar Park Loop are both about 0.1 mile away, and Solstice Valley Trail and Woodland Loop are within a quarter mile.
