Another 60 miles of bike path in Italy as we go from Bolzano to Rovereto.
This is the day we leave the Italian province of South Tyrol and the German speakers.
We’re still going downhill, but at an ever-slower rate. On this 60ish-mile day from Bolzano to Rovereto, we will lose about 60 meters in elevation, as much as we did over the 24ish miles between Merano and Bolzano.
Continue reading “Day 3 on the Adige bike path in Italy: Hey, we’re on the Eurovelo 7 route”I told you we were biking downhill!
I’m in love with this bike path along the Adige river in northern Italy. And with the area.
Even before I had finished our first full day of biking, I was already contemplating a return visit.
Continue reading “Day 2 on the Adige bike path: 60 miles downhill from Malles to Bolzano via Merano”We told everyone we are biking downhill for the better part of 180 miles along the Adige river in Italy.
We’ve been telling everyone that this bike trip in Italy is all about going downhill, from the mountains to the valley and Verona about 180 miles away.
After just 12 miles between Resia/Reschen and Malles/Mals (every town here has an Italian and a German name), we can say we weren’t kidding.
Continue reading “Day 1 on Italy’s Adige bike path: We get flagged for speeding while biking downhill”Is it the Alto Adige? The Etschradweg? So many names for the bike path from Malles (or Mals) to Verona in Italy.
We’re planning a biking trip to the Dolomite mountains in northeastern Italy. The idea is to bike downhill on a bike path from as high up as we can get all the way to Verona.
We hope.

It’s the last day of our bike adventure from Philadelphia to Washington D.C.
Continue reading “Day 4 of biking from Philadelphia to DC: A 14-mile finale on stunning trails”A trail at the back of the hotel! But getting into Baltimore was tough.
This is the way you want to start a bike ride: go to the back of the hotel, turn right and stay on a trail for the next 42 miles.
If only it had been that smooth the entire day.
Continue reading “Day 3 of biking from Philadelphia to DC: 42 miles of trail and then….”Go ride the Enola Low-Grade Trail!
The Enola Low-Grade Trail is the biking secret you want to discover in Lancaster County, PA.
Continue reading “Day 2 of Philly to DC: This is the next rail-trail that everyone will be talking about”Loved biking on the Schuylkill River and Chester Valley trails. The hills that followed? They never seemed to end.
How in the world did we (Komoot? Ride with GPS?) pick this metric century route to Gap, Pa., a small town in Lancaster County?
Continue reading “Day 1 of biking from Philadelphia to DC: trails (yay) and hills (too many)”What would it be like to use the D&R Canal towpath and then Amwell Road to reach Flounder?
Flounder Brewery moved into a renovated old farmhouse last year (still in Hillsborough) and now has lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We biked once from Duke Farm and then via roads to the D&R Canal towpath at the Griggstown Causeway.
But what would it be like to bike almost all the way using the canal towpath? Time to find out with this route.
Continue reading “A new way to bike to the new Flounder Brewing site”Wonderful views of NYC (from the water), a lengthy trail and under 50 miles.
I love the East Coast Greenway. I’ve biked the whole thing. And I like how the New York-to-Princeton route offers so much variety — urban, suburban, road, trail, towpath, amazing views from the Bayonne and Goethals bridges…
But there’s another way to reach Central Jersey, and it’s only fair to share it too. It also gets you wonderful views of NYC (from the water) and uses a lengthy trail to get you part of the way. Bonus: it’s shorter at under 50 miles.
