looking for 2-3 day penn dutch loop
Looking for ideas for 2-3 day (45-90) mile loop tour through Penn
Dutch Country. Looking to get off of the heavy-trafficked roads, but don't want TOO many hills either. I basically need some back roads to get from: (1) Lancaster to Intercourse (2) Intercourse northwest to Lilitz (could be through Terre Hill/New Holland, if trhis doesn't involve too many excess miles (3) back to Lancaster (ideally not on 501?) I'd be doing during the week in October - how crowded is 340/23/322? It seeks the tour route listings that I have either do a grand loop through all of the obvious places, sticking to the main roads, or a loop from Intercourse to Bowmansville and return, or just a lot of jaunts out and about. Open to other suggestions. Not interested in Strasburg area particularly. I do have access to the rides on the Lancaster Bicycle Club site, so you could reference any of these. The trick is to put these together. |

I can fax you the cue sheet from the 51 mile Pedal to Preserve ride, out of Garden Spot High School, New Holland, to Warwick, Lititz and points thereabouts, that I did on Saturday. The event was run by the Lancaster Farmland Trust to raise funds for preserving farmland in the county; see the Trust's web site at http://www.savelancasterfarms.org/sa...p?a=3&q=555327. Some nice scenery, horse-drawn buggies, Amish on their bikes, not too much traffic. --Roy Zipris |
