Ride Description and choices

A good friend of mine asked me today to describe the rides we are putting on at Pedal Delmarva for 2008. My first response was to say that they will be awesome rides, full of fun, fast, mostly flat courses that cover areas of Worcester county Md. By way of additional details I want to add the following. These rides will be on rural roads surrounded by farmlands, woods, and small towns like Berlin, Snow Hill,and Pocomoke City. One of the rides will take cyclists to Assateague to explore the island then return through the country side. The Assateague ride will be the one with the most amount of traffic due to the increased popularity of the area. Other ride choices will consist of 21 miles, 35 miles, 74 miles and 100 miles. These routes will take riders on a scenic cross section of Maryland's only seaside county. The geography on Delmarva consists of vast areas of wetlands, scenic waterways both brackish and salt water. Non agricultural areas are abundant providing habitat for an assortment of birds and animals. Farmland makes up the balance of the area with fields rich in soybeans, corn, sunflowers, and a whole host of seasonal crops. Spring and fall are my favorite times to bike here but summer is not bad either. You are close to Ocean City, Md. but a world apart. Far from the hustle and bustle the back country roads around Delmarva offer peace, tranquility, scenery, and a whole lot of pedaling possibilities. Check out the pictures on our blog and the website to get a good idea of what to expect. This area is already a cycling mecca and each year increases in popularity. I suggest you get here and bike like crazy, as often as you can, while you still can. We can also provide your group with custom century rides, metric century rides as well as 2 or 3 day bike tours covering Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Happy Cycling !!
