I used to live close to the NCR trail. If you ride from the southern end (Monkton MD or White Hall MD) and head north to PA, there is a slight upgrade to Shrewsbury. 20 some years ago, there was a bed and breakfast around the Shrewsbury area just off of the rail-trail (don't know if still there). You should be able to ride 20 miles up and 20 miles back and make decent time-as from Shrewsbury PA back to Monkton or White Hall in MD, it's a downgrade, or level. Used to be some places to eat not far off the rail-trail, in Shrewsbury, but it's probably been 20 years since we last rode it. PA is full of great rail-trails (more than any other state). If your library has a Rails-to-Trails book of PA rail trails, it would be a good reference.
