This is a route from Reading to York, PA. It takes the Thun Trail to Birdsboro, then the PA Bike Route L to the PA Bike Route S. From York you can either continue on the Bike Route S to near Chambersburg and then ride south and pick up the C & O Canal Towpath at Hancock, or take the York Heritage Trail south into Maryland. The YHT ends north of Baltimore. From "Balmer" you can ride into DC - take care, lots of traffic! - and pick up the C & O Canal Towpath at its start. Or again, find your own way....
