Southern Pennsylvanians; Where do we fit in?

[Kalidurga]

Hi there, Ritamarie. I grew up in VA, currently live in MD outside of DC, spend a lot of time in Baltimore, and make fairly frequent trips to Gettysburg, Philly, western MD/WV, and Fayette County, PA. To me, the mid-Atlantic U.S. encompasses pretty much everything from NJ to the bottom of VA, from the eastern shore through WV. Other folks define the area very differently, though, so you're likely to get a variety of answers to this question.

Got any good routes to share for B'more county or southern PA?

I vote Mid-Atlantic.

Thanks! Normally, I would answer to either "Northeast" or "MidAtlantic", so it's hard to decide where to post here.

Yes, I have routes in this area and like working out new ones! It would be great to find more women riding buddies. Most of our women-only rides are casual and chatty in the 14-16 mph average range, depending on the hillage (it's hilly around here!) and our motivation, with mileage per ride usually between 40-70 miles.

If you want route suggestions, or would like to get together to ride, let me know!

Yeah, I keep hearing about the hills up thataways, which is why I haven't done much riding up there yet I love the York Heritage rail-trail, though. Gorgeous scenery, despite the amount of dust the trail kicks up. Your mileage and speed are just a bit beyond me, but maybe I'll hit the roads up there one of these days.
