Written Directions

The directions couldn't be much easier. Just start your route in Breezewood, PA and take US 30 (Lincoln Highway) all the way to Chambersburg, PA.

Scenery

I couldn't believe that US 30 wasn't on MotorcycleRoads.com. The views on this are amazing. The mountains and the look out points are fantastic!!! I little bit of history; this is the road that Lincoln took to Gettysburg. Its a good thing they didn't have motorcycles bake then or else he might have never given the Gettysburg Address, he would have kept riding this part over and over.

Drive Enjoyment

Nice amount of twist and turns up and downs. The road seems like its maintained well.

Tourism Opportunities

Gas up in Breezewood if you need it because there is very little till you get to Chambersburg. There is a biker bar on top of one of the high points (nice view from there ... I recommend a stop here).

I rate this ride overall about 3 . I recommend starting the ride in Breezewood, just off the PA Turnpike take Rt 30East (Lincoln Highway)and concluding the ride at the intersection of Rt 75, which makes the ride about 26 miles. Once you pass Rt 75 it's a straight run along the Lincoln Highway into Chambersburg and there's a lot of traffic and not much to see. However West of Rt 75 there's some nice curves, only one hairpin at the summit and some sweepers up and down the mountain. There aren't any scenic lookouts to stop and take pictures. Overall a nice ride but not sure it should make the Top 100?

I live 5 miles off of Hwy 30 about 30 minutes west of Bedford. I just bought my motorcycle so I haven't had a chance to ride to Gettysburg yet but have driven the road coming back from when the family and I went on the Gettysburg tour. There is a lot of nice views on that road and a nice little tavern at the top of one of the mountains that has a great view and good food!

This road is at its absolute best between PA75 and Breezewood. This stretch is a fun ride with some great sweepers and significant elevation changes. East of PA 75 this route has very little to offer.
Stop at the Mountain House Bar & Grill at the very top of the Tusacarora mountain (4 mi West of PA75) . The parking lot offers a spectacular panoramic view of the valley below. The grub is pretty good too. If you are lucky - you will see hangliders launching off the mountain too.
