As for the area, the only bike path I've noticed is between Easton and Denton. Happen to know of any more, or any spot with some decent hills that isn't all the way over near I-270?

I like climbing, but there's not much around here that qualifies as a grade.

RIZZ...30 miles at 16MPH is my pace and just about the fastest that I go...I'm more of a distance guy rather then speed. There are some decent hills just across the Bay in central / southern Anne Arundel County (Davidsonville area). Otherwise on the Shore all we seem to get is w~i~n~d (AKA: the "Eastern Shore Hills").
There is a virtual bike club that I participate in:
www.atlanticcycling.com Check them out...they are super-well organized, inexpensive, very friendly and keep it simple. Awesome rides and fun times! They are in Thurmont (hills!) in July and then Easton for August and Chestertown for September.
