Midday on the Bay: Thursday July 19, 1-2 p.m.

From the Cambridge area, you can ride to the Blackwater Wildlife refuge, which was mentioned on today's show. It is easier to see the area from a bicycle than from a car. On a longer ride, you can cycle to Hooper's Island on the bay for some good fresh seafood and the shoreline view.

From the Salisbury area, take a ride to Snow Hill on the Pocomoke River, where you can find outfitters that will rent you canoes for a trip through the cypress tree lined river. I have not done it since the 90's, but I expect that someone still offers this trip as an option. The outfitter drove us up river in a van that towed a trailer full of canoes, and dropped us off at rivers edge. We stopped along the river for a nice lunch on the banks in the shade of the cypress trees. It is a beautiful trip ... I've done it twice. I learned that it helps if you keep your bike helmet on in the canoe, since some of the branches of the cypress trees hang low over the water.
