Delaware Coast Short Run
State: Delaware

Submitted By: Bob Simmons

Date Submitted: Mar 03

Motorcycle Type: 01 H/D Road King

Motorcycle Road Length: 60 Miles

 
Motorcycle Road Scenery:
      On this quiet 2-lane road you'll run along the Delaware Bay coast, passing thru coastal estuaries (the wide mouth of a rivers into which the tide flows) and farmland. From start to stop, there are many side roads leading to the Del River to stop and take great pictures! It goes from farmlands, to wetlands!
 
Motorcycle Road Quality:
      2-lane secondary road, winding thru the country and along the Delaware shore. Road quality is good, but the road has very few area's with a shoulder, and a breakdown could put you in some danger from the many blind curves.

The ride is a blast, however. From the Air Mobility museum located at the Dover End, to the view from the Reedy point Bridge as you approach Del city, you will find a lot of things to catch your eye, and enough turns and long straights to both challenge your cornering, and satisfy you need to open it up a bit. Be on the lookout for farm equipment, and deer!  
 
Motorcycle Roadside Amenities:
      Eat lunch (spring summer and fall) at Sambo's in Leipsic Delaware, be sure to stop for a beverage at the Augustine In (Augustine Beach). Route ends at the Delaware Memorial Bridge. When you get into Port Penn try Kelly's Crab house or Crabby Dicks in Delaware City.
 
Directions:
      The route follows Delaware Route 9 all the way. Start the in the town of Kitts Hummock Delaware which is 10 miles south east of Dover Air Force Base. From there, simple work your way north on Route 9 all the way up to the Delaware Memorial Bridge in New Castle Delaware.

Route 9 is a grat ride. Try to ride the northern part of RT 9 on low tide. If the tides are high and the wind is blowing the water will flood over parts of the road at low bridge crossings.
