WDC to the Eastern Shore

[jimmcw]

We're considering transitting Washington DC en route to the
Eastern Shore at the end of a cross country trip next summer.
Would appreciate any info on how best to deal with the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge problem.

I am planning a group tour from Washington, DC to Massachusetts for the summer. I solved the Bay Bridge problem by adding 1-2 days. I am travelling to Reedville, VA then taking a ferry to Tangier Island (Smith Island is another possibility) then another ferry to Crisfield, MD. From there you can ride up to Asseteauge or Ocean City or wherever. I found the idea in Bicycling the Atlantic Coast by Donna Ikenberry Aitkenhead. She also suggests hitching a ride across the bridge as an alternative.
