Delegate Addie Eckardt Announces Mid Shore Cycle Tour

Delegate Addie Eckardt announced today that she will be touring the MidShore by bicycle beginning August 26. She will travel the four counties in legislative District 37B to highlight the uniqueness of the counties, their rich beauty, history and cultural eco tourism and feature the small towns. “Our small towns have to adhere to the same laws and regulations as our larger cities without comparable resources” said Eckardt. “These communities depend on volunteers for fire and emergency services and financial assistance from various groups and organizations for cultural heritage and historical buildings and sites.” I have supported many projects over the years that preserve not only our heritage but our economy as well. As we plan for the future, let’s take advantage of our environment and history and build on our existing treasures.
As an avid biker and nurse Delegate Eckardt advocates exercise as an essential prevention of disease and approach to weight control. Our district is ideal for outside activities like cycling- especially in the early morning.

The cycle tour consists of four days, the four counties riding 50-60 miles per day and stopping to appreciate our heritage. Sites include Blackwater Wildlife Refuge, the Harriett Tubman trail, Bucktown Store, Layton’s Chance Vineyard and Winery and Vienna in Dorchester County; Whitehaven Hotel, Quantico, Hebron, Mardela Springs and Sharptown in Wicomico County; Federalsburg along the Maryhope River, Preston, Harmony , the Dover Bridge in Caroline County; and St.Michaels, Oxford and the Oxford Ferry ,and Trappe in Talbot County.
