Blackwater Ride
Flat and fast (well, depending on the mercy of the wind) route through some beautiful wetlands on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
Here's a semi-reliable cue sheet (the mileage notes/guesses are WRONG):
Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge
Start – Visitor’s Center
Right onto Key Wallace Drive
Right onto Maple Dam Road (Greenbrier Road goes left)
Straight through Robbins, MD
Maple Dam Road turns into Robbins Road (approx mile 10)
Straight through Andrew, MD

Right on Lakesville/Crapo Road/336 (in Lakesville)

(BAILOUT: You can take a right onto Smithville Rd in Golden Hill. Follow directions from 3rd line after flip. This will make it a ~28 mile ride.)
