while up in the cumberland area you should ride your bike through big savage mountain tunnel built in 1911. i believe that is now part of a new rail trail that goes to pittsburg pennsylvania. this would be good if you had someone give you a ride in this area. i camp at savage river state forrest in western maryland, you can camp at big run state park, this whole area is absolutely beautiful, next to big run state park is savage viver reservoir where there is canoeing and kayaking, new germany state park, lake with lifeguard for swimming, camping, mountain bike trails, all of this is in one area, i can send you some pictures if you like. there are black bears in this area however they never bothered me before. dave
