Tours in the Mid-Atlantic

Often called the Heartland of the East Coast, the mid-Atlantic region offers the best of the eastern U.S. This area is home to the iconic Adirondack Park, the Appalachian Mountains, and Niagara Falls, as well as great cycling on rail trails, winding roads covered in hardwood forest canopy, and historic covered bridges. The culture and commerce here might be dominated by New York and Washington, DC, but the expansive and sometimes unexpected rural areas offer a one-of-a-kind charm and beauty.

Atlantic Coast: Van Supported. This van-supported grand tour of the Atlantic Coast leads past battlefields, our country’s earliest European settlements, and a handful of major cities.

C&O Canal/GAP: Fully Supported. This fall you won’t need to worry about traffic as you ride your hybrid or mountain bike 330 miles on gently graded gravel and dirt trails from the heart of the nation’s capital north into Pennsylvania.

Witness the history of the area’s once thriving coal industry, and the great push for conservation and preservation that has taken its place.

Hudson River Ramble: Manhattan to Bear Mountain: Van Supported. See just how easy it is to access New York’s green spaces! From downtown Manhattan to Bear Mountain State Park, you’ll get the best of both worlds as you escape the urban jungle on the Hudson River Greenway.
