Mid Atlantic

This trip is a quick day ride on a wonderfully well-maintained towpath along the canal that connects the Delaware and Raritan rivers. As long as it’s dry and above freezing, this is an easy four-season escape that you can’t go wrong with. 

The Delaware River is an extraordinarily beautiful area that feels a world away from NYC—and yet it is so close and wonderfully bikeable. This trip serves up some of the best it has to offer through the part of the Garden State that is actually green. 

Some bike trips are about getting lost. Others like this one are about the mission of making it to your destination, especially when the route is less than direct. Follow the waterways of Pennsylvania up the Delaware, across the Lehigh, and down the Perkiomen and Schuylkill into the heart of Philly.

Nestled in the heart of the Poconos, the town of Jim Thorpe is known as “The Little Switzerland of America”, and who are we to disagree? Come for a weekend to bike the Lehigh Gorge and leave all your worries behind. This is an easy ride for all abilities.

The Great Allegheny Passage and the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal are bucket list bike trips. These two trails form a seamless 335 mile route from Pittsburgh to D.C. This is Part 1 of the adventure, beginning in Pittsburgh, crossing over the Alleghenies, and descending into Western Maryland. The GAP is an action-packed trail of varied terrain, full of literal highs and lows and a world of unforgettable sights.

The Great Allegheny Passage and the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal are bucket list bike trips. These two trails form a seamless 335 mile route from Pittsburgh to D.C. This is Part 2 of the adventure, beginning in Western Maryland and winding its way along the banks of the Potomac all the way to Georgetown. The C&O is a solitary trail and a wonderfully serene place to get lost in nature.

The best way to see the nation’s capital is on a bike, of course. Washington D.C. is ringed by many wonderful bike trails that will take you up, down, around, out of, and back into the District with sight after sight along the way. 

NoVa, aka Northern Virgnia (not the lox), is an easy weekend escape from D.C. Follow this straight shot through Arlington, Fairfax, and Loudoun Counties out to the lovely town of Leesburg and into a bliss of trailside breweries.
