Delaware Coast Short Run

It is a pretty nice rode. I normally take it to smyrna, but not much farther. You need to watch out in the spring and summer for grass on the road. Also, the only cops I ever see are in the small towns with the 25mph limit, but dont be fooled, I've seen plenty of bikes pulled over. That said, the straights are BEAUTIFUL! You'll open the throttle and before you know it, you're in the triple digits. All and all, it's a good ride, but be safe and use good judgment.

Great road with some long straights that can let you get carried away a bit with your throttle hand. Do watch out for the humped up canal bridges - as you can catch air if you are not cognizant of your speed. Also watch for water on the road at high tide in some of these same locations.

Some nice attractions along this route include woodland beach - for some real sand and few people.

Also, Bombay Hook has some gravel loop roads that are excellent for bird watching and a favorite with my spouse. We saw a bald eagle there last week.

The Delaware bay is quite beautiful, and I was just down there last week, and the fall foliage seems late, but is quite nice. Enjoy.

Lived in DE for 20 years and took this trip hundreds of times. Ice cream at Coleman's Christmas tree farm, crabs at Sambos and all the time seeing US air force jets buzz the skies out of Dover. Love this road. Check out the old light house on at the stop sign in Middletown.
