I rode my bike from Buffalo NY to the Outerbanks, NC this summer. Route 44 in PA is a good route. Takes you through some nice State Forest (Susquenhannock & Tiadaghton). I choose to stop at Lancaster, PA (lots of farmers markets) The area has plenty of rolling hills and beautiful farm land. Amish stands are prevalent, just don't arrive on a Sunday since they are closed. People are extremely friendly. I would strongly suggest planning your route to include the Outerbanks.
