Pretty much every road is gorgeous. It's a question of how much hill climbing she wants to do. Most roads are very hilly, but Berme Rd, as the name implies, is not. The rail trails are also level.
Traffic is light, which is good, because so many roads have no shoulders at all. It's a little nerve-wracking, but we manage. I ride far to the left and do not hug the edge of the road. I use a tail light and reflective gear, even in the daylight.
