This picturesque, 50-mile ride tours two states—Pennsylvania and Delaware—and the two-lane country roads south of West Chester. Starting in East Bradford, Pennsylvania, the route winds south on North and South Creek roads, passing farmland, horses, and quiet neighborhoods.
Roughly 14 miles in, the route begins a very mild descent, losing 310 feet over the next 11.5 miles. Cyclists who have time to spare can swing by Longwood Gardens (one of the country's premier arboretums) or the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail near the historic town of Kennett Square (mile 17).
At mile 23, cross the state line into Delaware and ride alongside Red Clay Creek. (During the fall, brilliant colors punctuate the landscape.) Seven miles later, ride back into Pennsylvania and follow a parallel route back to the start point.
