I live in Maryland, and would love to take a bike trip like that. But this article makes it sound too physically difficult for a person like me.
I am a beginner recreational cyclist, just getting back into the sport after ten long years and a back/neck injury. I want to begin biking again for the pleasure -- not the pain. I'm looking for beautiful scenery like this article describes, but without too much suffering. Long steep grades, and lots of mud may prevent me from enjoying the ride as much as I would like. Ten years ago, the fitness aspect of this kind of tour would be the attraction. Now I want fun - not fitness.
If this is possible with any Maryland ride, let me know?
I just bought my first new bike in ten years. It's a Specialized Crossroads Comp hybrid. The bike I bought new ten years ago was an agressive performance Cannondale mountain bike. I can't ride it anymore because I lean too far forward, and cannot lift my head up far enough to see where I am going
