Hey F-C: I believe you gave me some recent Quebec/Mtl beta. In mid-Nov you run the risk of bad weather especially in the mnts of MD/VA?NC. At this time of year I think riding the Eastern shore near the Chesapeake would be your best option. There will still be some fall colors there. The mnts will have almost no leaves at that time. I enclosed 3 links for Delaware map(free) and Delmarva(this is the eastern shore of Maryland, Delaware and Virginia) map(5.00) and an info site for eco tourism.

Keep in mind that once on the Delmarva eastern shore it is not easy to get to SE Virginia and NE North Carolina. There is a long bridge/tunnel that bikes are not allowed onto. There are ferries but am uncertain where to find them.
The central part of the Eastern shore has excellent flat cycling mostly free from traffic. This is especially true if you stay away from the coastline. Many campgrounds but check to see if they are open all year.
Some places to see:
Assateague(MD), Chincoteague(VA), Cape Henlopen(DE); these are all protected seashores free of development. If you can get over the bay and into SE Virginia and NE North Carolina be sure to check out the Great Dismal Swamp and Merchants Mill Pond. Beautiful cypress swamps especially in November(often it's peak color season). You can rent canoes and camp at MMP not certain about GDS. Some wonderful beaches in this area.
Start planning and hit me up with any questions. Post up when you are riding in this forum under "where are the MD people". Some eastern shore riders there and they can fill you in with more details. Some folks may wantto ride with you as well. Best Charlie
PS you have a great country.
