Hello All,

Did a ride from NY to Baltimore last year using the Adventure Cycling Association and trying to find a new route. Not really crazy about those maps...Has anyone done Route 1 all the way down....how congested and bad does it get? Can you cross all the waters safely?

All help is appreciated...I use Route 1 to Boston and find it great!! You just do 1 and 1a and it is a nice ride...is it the same the other way?

Hi John,

Just incase anyone else every needs this route and since no one ever responds to just about anything other than what bike to buy, here is a route I find by hours of surfing. Mark it and print it while it lasts!!

I checked out the route via the web and maps...it is definitely better than the adventure cycling association maps.

Good luck and keep hammering!!:D
