ADVENTURE CYCLING BICYCLE ROUTE NETWORK
In creating the ever-growing Adventure Cycling Bicycle Route Network, we've researched and developed 38,158 miles of prime cycling routes in the U.S. to date. These routes follow some of the most quiet, scenic roads and bike trails in the North America and are designed with cyclists in mind.

	See map features.

ADVENTURE CYCLING MAPS
Our bike maps (listed on right) are built for cyclists and are some of the finest you'll find anywhere. They include information not available on typical road maps designed for motorists, for example, the locations of bike shops, sources for food and water, and listings of overnight accommodations (especially camping facilities and small motels). More about our maps.

U.S. BICYCLE ROUTE SYSTEM
Adventure Cycling Association and several other organizations have teamed up with AASHTO (American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials) to develop a U.S. Bicycle Route System. With staff support from Adventure Cycling Association, AASHTO's Task Force on U.S. Bicycle Routes is developing a corridor-level plan and designation scheme for this system. Learn more.

COOKIE LADY UPDATE

GeoPoints Bulletin

Jenn, Cartographer

Thursday, March 18, 2010

For those of you planning to ride the TransAmerica Trail this summer and visit the Cookie Lady (aka June Curry, the original Trail Angel) in Afton, Virgina, be sure to arrange to sleep elsewhere that night. Though she still loves to have cyclists drop by for a visit, June has decided that the bike house will not be available as an overnight stop. She will continue greeting cyclists with cookies and drinks, and the bike house will be open during the day for cyclists to stroll through the years of memorabilia on display.

Debbi, a good friend of June's, says "...the situation (not having cyclists stay at the bike house) may change in the future, but right now, June would prefer not to have overnight visitors." Debbi's agreed to keep us posted on the status. When we know more, you'll know more.

In the meantime, keep your eye out for 2010's Trail Angel while you're on the road. Those nominations are open from July 1 until September 30, 2010. Also, check out this poll on crazyguyonabike.com about trail angel experiences. We're keeping an eye on it.
