This new second edition features updated cycling tours ranging from the western mountains, to urban waterfronts, to Civil War battlefields. With a varied terrain that includes the forested slopes of the Allegheny Mountains, hilly farmland along the Pennsylvania border, pine-filled woodlands along the upper Chesapeake Bay, and the flat expanses of the Eastern Shore, Maryland is perfect for cycling adventures. For this completely revised and updated second edition, Anne Oman has traveled throughout the state to assemble 25 trips, including four new tours, ranging from a day's outing to a weekend inn-to-inn tour. Visit the wild ponies of Assateague Island; spin through Antietam National Battlefield and other historic sites; explore the streets of Baltimore and Annapolis; or raise your pulse on a hard ride around Sugarloaf Mountain. The rides range in length from 5 to 95 miles. Each tour description includes a detailed map, as well as information on mileage, terrain, where to eat and repair a bike, and natural and historic highlights you'll see along the way. 4 new tours in this edition. 20 black and white photographs 26 maps

25 Bicycle Tours in Maryland: From the Allegheny Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean

Washington, D.C., blessed with a rich historic heritage and gentle terrain, is also graced with an unusually wide-ranging and accessible network of bike trails. Anne Oman, a seasoned writer, cyclist, and local historian, is your guide to this bike-friendly city. The tours in this revised and updated second edition range from 7 to 70 miles and offer something for cyclists of every ability and taste. Oman steers riders around Capitol Hill and to Washington's incomparable museums and monuments along the Mall, as well as to many other attractions, including Embassy Row, historic Georgetown, miles of towpaths along the Potomac River, and natural areas such as the National Arboretum. She also includes tours to nearby historic and scenic areas: the little-known western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia and Maryland wineries, covered bridges, and Mount Vernon, to name but a few. And for more ambitious cyclists, a bonus tour offers a three-state, three-day ride to Harper's Ferry. As with every book in the 25 Bicycle Tours series, each chapter includes directions to the starting point, detailed maps, mile-by-mile directions, and information on local attractions and nearby bike shops.
