The NCR has a lot of crush a run on it as well and rocks. I would not take a road bike on it. And I have biked the trail numerous times. I can bike to the trail in about a half an hour from where I am typing if I want to take my life in my hands on Paper Mill Road.
To funny leave Maryland and drive into Pennsylvania, and the roads are in significantly worse shape, but cross over from Maryland to Pennsylvania on the NCR and it goes from rocks, and dirt to being paved for a long stretch.
