Excited and proud of our neighbors in Virginia as they open their rail trail. We CAN do this on Maryland's Coast!

The Eastern Shore Rail Trail is now open following a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Cape Charles Thursday morning, where bicyclists gathered to ride the newly opened pathway.

The current section of the trail spans five miles along a repurposed railroad corridor. Once fully completed, the trail is planned to extend approximately 50 miles up the Eastern Shore.

Congratulations to our neighbors in Virginia who opened & rode the first
4 miles of trail on the former rail line. If Delaware & Virginia can do this,
We can too!

The first four miles of the Eastern Shore Rail Trail are officially open, connecting Cape Charles and Cheriton as work continues toward a planned 49-mile trail stretching to Hallwood.

I missed posting this on World Bicycle Day but it's worth reading anyway. Thanks ACT.

🚲 Happy World Bicycle Day! 🚲

Today, we celebrate one of the simplest, healthiest, and most environmentally friendly forms of transportation - the bicycle!

Whether you're riding to work, exploring local trails, cruising through your neighborhood, or simply enjoying the fresh air, every bike ride helps reduce emissions, ease traffic congestion, and support cleaner, healthier communities.

Choosing to bike, even for short trips, is a small action that can have a big impact on our environment and our well-being. So grab your helmet, hit the trail, and enjoy the journey!

Where's your favorite place to ride on the Eastern Shore? Share your favorite biking route or trail in the comments! 🌎💚

Imagine all the ways residents, visitors, businesses would thrive if the abandoned rail line were a trail that connected Snow Hill to Berlin! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/193cWykdSX/

A PBS doc narrated by Edward Norton follows the 60-year fight—and triumph— to convert abandoned railroads into trails for cycling and walking.

Blustery but sunny afternoon today for the Ocean Pines Community Bike Ride! Some did the long ride (14 miles), others the short (7 miles), and some did a distance between! Followed by socializing at the Clubhouse at the Ocean Pines Golf Club. Best of all we rode safely and had an enjoyable day.

Looking forward to doing it again next year!
