September 2015 Pennsylvania Orchard Loop
On Sunday, Duncan and I took the BMW's out for a 360 mile loop through Pennsylvania. Having ridden so many roads closer in to Washington DC we decided to hit the super slab to go explore areas we haven't often ventured into. It's easy to forget how close things are. After just 81 miles of slab we found ourselves in Clear Spring, MD. From there we took Route 75 north which, while pretty, was not that great. Where things got interesting, however, was when we headed East along Route 74. This went over a few mountain ranges and included some beautiful vistas. Our luck with roads improved dramatically as we found ourselves on the wickedly little lane and a half farm roads through apple orchard country. Of particular note was Route 233 through Michaux State Forest in addition to Cold Springs Road. For the next ride, I think we'll explore the rest of 233 further north.
