Check out Lancaster Bicycle Club's website. They list a number of routes, with cue sheets, and indicate their level of difficulty. You're likely to find something that suits you. I'm jealous. I was set to travel to Lancaster a few years ago to do some riding, but my plans fell through at the last minute.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Indy - thank you!!! Perfect - exactly what I was looking for!
We've never been to PA and have been wanting to go to Gettysburg & Amish country. So we're pretty excited!To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

King's New York Pizza in Gettysburg has excellent pizza.
The battlefield park is great for cycling. I find it easy to lose my sense of direction due to a lack of roadsigns, but I think that's because I'm always following a cue sheet rather than the battlefield tour map.
The area around Gettysburg is beautiful, very rural, great for cycling.
Have fun!!

How hilly is Lancaster County? I too have a trip there coming up next month, and wondering what to get mentally ready for.

Check out the link to the Lancaster bike club (above - Indy's post.) Their rides are rated for difficulty.

I ran into the brother of the friend I was planning to visit in Lancaster a few years back. They're both cyclist. He chuckled when I asked about flat rides there. It appears that flat rides can be had, but it's otherwise a hilly place.
