Below: George Mapp created this comprehensive guide to biking the backroads of Northampton County with a bit of local history thrown in.
"Looking for a new fun place to explore by bike? Look no further than Virginia's Eastern Shore. From the kid-friendly, sandy shores of Kiptopeke to the windswept ocean beaches of Assateague, explore seaside villages, railroad towns, forests, fields, and scenic boat launches. Pedal quiet back roads during the day, and in the evening, relax and enjoy fresh-off-the-boat seafood while watching the sun set over the Chesapeake. It’s paradise for birds, birders, and shellfish lovers - click the pic and read all about it." -George Mapp
