Hello from Delaware
Hi everyone. Signed up while looking for a source of information on carrying our bikes when camping. Look forward to learning more and maybe lending a hand where I can.

Thanks. We camp at CHSP often and bike over to Rehoboth to hit Revelation or DFH when we get the time. The trail around Gordon’s Pond is a nice relaxing ride. I don’t envy the highways near Bethany for riding…tourons get worse every year!
We live in Felton but work in Wilmington so quite the commute. We are hitting Lums for the start of our camping season in early April and hope to try out the new bikes there that weekend.
thanks everyone for the welcome!

Thursday: Train from Philly to Woodcrest in NJ then ride to Belleplain State Forrest in Woodbine, NJ
Friday: Woodbine to the ferry,
Saturday: Probably a day ride to Rehoboth for lunch via the trail system
Sunday: Back to NJ and north to Atlantic City for the train home. I will probably ride available trail to Cape May Courthouse and head to the coast at Stone Harbor then up to A.C.

Got a long weekend tour planned for CHSP over Easter: Made my reservation last month as the place was filling up fast.

Looks like we are taking the ferry eastward on this upcoming Saturday morning to hit up a couple places in Cape May and then back westward to Delaware in the afternoon. I think we are only looking at 25 miles so nothing epic like your weekend plans, but still good for getting the feel for the bikes.
