Lauren Matison, a travel journalist based in New York City, recently toured with Discovery Bicycle Tours. Her writing has appeared in various online and print publications, and she also co-founded offMetro, a travel site featuring car-free getaway ideas from New York, San Francisco and around the world.
Lauren writes: "My idea of a perfect getaway starts with a bike. Be it a quick escape across the George Washington Bridge or climbing a volcano in Hawaii, two wheels have a way of creating memorable adventures better than any other mode of transportation I've known. Recently, the perfect getaway evolved to include a bike and a bunch of strangers in a strange land.
The strange land was Easton, Maryland, where my husband and I joined Discovery Bicycle Tours, an inn-to-inn tour company that leads trips in 11 destinations, including Vermont, Cape Cod, California, Martha's Vineyard, Quebec, Italy, and Scotland. I'd only ever breezed through Baltimore for a couple crab cakes, so a guided ride around the Free State sounded like a great way to meet Maryland and enjoy a weekend getaway—without having to plan a thing."
