New Md Bicycle Map Available


By Jeffrey Marks

Yes, the new Bicycle Map has arrived. I picked up a copy at the Monkton NCR Station, open Wed - Sunday. This new comprehensive map provides guidance for long distance cyclists travelling in Md; utilizing main roads with shoulders (e.g. - Route 140 from Westminster to Emmitsburg), bike trails like the NCR, and local roads like Butler Road - RT 128 - and Falls Rd - RT 25. Although bicycle connoisseurs familiar with the local area may find more interesting, less travelled roads; this map provides a practical and continuous route - except for the Bay Bridge - for cycling through Md.

This comprehensive bike map further strengthens our case in requesting State Highway to maintain and improve the routes listed on the map. Last, but not least, the State has removed from its prohibited highways the non Freeway portion (north of Route 26) of divided Route 15 in Frederick County and most of Route 301 in Queen Annes and Kent counties.

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.
