Monkton, MD


Bike riding and tubing: The Torrey C. Brown Trail (formerly the NCR Trail) is a little over 20 miles of flat, stone and dirt-covered pathway, easily navigable by bicycle or by foot. This primarily shaded trail runs from Ashland, Md. to the Maryland–Pennsylvania line. Monkton is a mid-point on the trail and offers a respite for travelers.

You can also tube or kayak down the Gunpowder River, which runs parallel to the trail. Monkton Bikes rents bikes, kayaks, and tubes. A “tube shuttle” is available for transportation to the starting point for your excursion, and then you lazily float back to Monkton. .

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
