Default Gettysburg area recommended rides

Hi everyone, I'm planning a trip next week to the Gettysburg PA area from south east NH, wondering are there any "must ride" roads in the area? Looking forward to visiting the battlefields again, visited them when I was in my early teens about 30 years ago. Planning on riding two different days, I usually make my day trips about 200 miles long. . . . . . Any input greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

- John

No “must ride” roads however route 30 west out towards and to include the flight 93 memorial near Somerset.

There is a ton of good riding in the area the whole area is beautiful. . Must see's and ride times are High Rock, abt 45 min, The Mountain House, abt 45 min (Try the chicken cheesesteak) , Flight 93, abt 2hrs, A good road to ride is RT641 from Carlisle to Shade Gap. Ride the battlefield at dusk, out past the Eisenhower farm (what a view) then across to big and little round top.

Double check by the round tops, the roads may be closed in spots as they are working on them and they are closed to tourists

We went to Gettysburg Bike Week this year. We rode down to Harpers Ferry VA on the back roads. Even in the rain we had fun!
Next year, I want to take a tour of the battlefield. So much history there.
