The ultimate guide to pedaling through scenic country roads and beautiful farmland.
Lancaster and Chester counties of Pennsylvania contain some of the most pleasant and interesting countryside in America.

This book also includes a map of every ride so you can easily find your way to fascinating historical sites, 250-year-old farms transformed into immense equestrian estates, covered bridges to rival New England’s, and numerous nature preserves.
