The Adventure Cycling Association has completed maps for the southern section of the Underground Railroad Bicycle Route. Starting in Mobile, Ala., the route traverses the Deep South on back roads, traveling 867.5 miles to Owensboro, Ky. The association relied on the knowledge of members as well as historians and preservationists to offer both historic destinations and great cycling roads and paths on routes used by escaping slaves. Maps cost $8 for members, $11 for nonmembers, plus $2 shipping. Details: www.adventurecycling.org/ugrr/index.cfm.
