Cycling the Delaware Water Gap

I've been busy driving between New Orleans & Memphis, trying to juggle post hurricane cleanup with work and family responsibilities. As a result, finding time to cycle has been difficult so the ride reports I planned to write are still just that - plans. Gladly, RideTHISbike.com visitors are submitting useful info about riding in various regions of the country.

Here are some relevant links & info that I received from Georgi Offrell at Back of the Moon B&B about cycling in the Delware Water Gap region in Pennsylvania.

This trail is particularly nice. Many people start it up in Dingman’s Ferry, PA.

This site offers resources for both road cyclists & mountain bikers. Maps to trails are on the premises, so you’ll need to call to get one. Speak to “Maria” at 570-424-1163.

This is the “young, extreme, hip-type” place. It used to be a very upscale Ski Shop… now it’s a very upscale outdoor sports shop. According to John Riley at Loft Sports, their "entire staff all know about the (mountain bike) trails” in the area. They also have maps and would be able to send you some. Call Brad Sweeney, John or Ben at 570-629-2627 for more info.
