Once one gets away from the beach areas, Sussex County, DE. Most roads are in very good shape. If outside of a town/city, the traffic is light, no climbing, park areas and paths can be accessed. The wind does get to blowing pretty hard quite often, and summer temps and humidity can be extreme. Riding early morning in the summer, one can minimize the effects of those issues. Also summer early mornings, at the beach, traffic of all kinds is very light, and boardwalks are open to bikes until 10:00am. From first light to around 9:00am., beach area rides are very scenic.
