Just West of you in Lancaster County are some great roads through rolling farm land. On Sundays from 1:00 until 5:00, The Union Hotel in Port Deposit, Maryland is a great destination. It's a tavern from the 1700's, on a nice day there will be 200-300 bikes there with a band playing and pit sandwiches. Rt. 10 to Rt. 1 will get you there quick. Also, good is from Thorndale take Rt. 340 West to Rt. 30 then to Rt. 23 and find the Waterfront Tavern, take Rt. 23 on the return trip.

Others good spots that are nice rides for you;
The Hideaway - Mt. Gretna, PA
Quentin Tavern - Quentin, PA
Vic's Wayside Inn - Ronks, PA
Jonny & Hons Smokehouse - Robesonia, PA
Tidewater - Havre De Grace, MD
Sunset Cove - Middle River, MD
Naughty Goose - Northeast, MD
Chesapeake Yacht Club - Chesapeake City, DE (don't be fooled by the name, its a cool place)

I've been a few beers deep at Gear Jammers, and I'm sure I will again. I'll check the rest out too. Thanks!

Also Steak and Main and Woodys are also popular places in North East, MD...

and its Nauti-Goose... You pass my house to get to it, and I live close enough I can hear the live music

I have been to the Union Hotel a couple times, but can be a little packed for me...

I like riding the back roads of south central PA, alot of good scenery and not too much traffic...
