City Escape: Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania’s capital Harrisburg isn’t the biggest city—but it can still get stifling. So hop in the saddle and head south along the Susquehanna for this City Escape that takes you on a unique tour of the Pennsylvania countryside. I mean, how many other rides pass both America’s worst nuclear disaster site and Amish farms?

After a leisurely riverside romp on the shrinking SR 441, swing a left on SR 372 and enjoy some roller-coaster riding before entering Pennsylvania Dutch Country proper. The 50-foot-long clotheslines and rolling fields filled with cows, cabbage, and beans will surely take you back to a simpler time. Just remember to respect the friendly Amish and keep your revs in check. You can let loose again on the return stint on US 22.
