In the course of researching one or more trail stories for Pennsylvania, I decided to contact a few innkeepers in regions that seemed like great places to ride. The responses have been so helpful that I wanted to share them here.
Erie, PA
Presque Isle State Park
(Erie, PA) and the
Oil Creek Trail
(near Oil City, PA) both "are worth looking into. Lots of people ride around on our country roads (around Edinboro, PA) as well. Many are paved and in generally good condition for bike riding... People have come to stay here while bike riding on Presque Isle or in the countryside."

Ride In The Pocono's
Many bikers use the blue (bicycling) route... which is (just off Route 115 on) White Haven Rd... The road also passes the Francis Walter Dam which offers a wonderful ride.
