From the Allegheny Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay

Maryland's varied terrain is perfect for cycling adventures that range from the forested slopes of the Allegheny Mountains, to hilly farmland along the Pennsylvania border, to pine-filled woodlands along the upper Chesapeake Bay, to the flat expanses of the Eastern Shore. For this completely revised and updated second edition, Anne Oman has traveled throughout the state to assemble 25 trips, including four new tours, for cyclists of every level of ability. You'll visit the wild ponies of Assateague Island; spin through Antietam National Battlefield and other historic sites; explore the streets of Baltimore and Annapolis; and traverse the state from mountains to tidewater along the C&O Canal.

The rides range from a 5-mile meander to a five-day trip of 189 miles; most tours are suitable for both road and mountain bikes. Each tour description includes a detailed map, mile-by-mile directions, and information on local history and culture, as well as recommendations of places to eat, stay, and repair or rent a bike.

This new edition includes four new tours:
