A Bucket List Ride to the Loneliest Road In Maryland

They call this ride to Hooper's Island "Maryland's Loneliest Road", and for good reason. Hoopers Island Road spans nearly 9 scenic miles, with many stretches of the road having nothing but water and nature as far as the eyes can see. This "lonely road" once brought you to all three sections of Hooper's Island, however the lowest island is no longer accessible anymore as it's been slowly lost to the tides. In fact, every year the islands lose over 24 acres to erosion, storms, and flood damage! And as you can see in the video...the damage and land loss is pretty evident.
This ride has been a "bucket list ride" of mine for years now, ever since I saw this article (www.onlyinyourstate.com/maryl...) calling it Maryland's Loneliest Road. And I have to say, it DID NOT disappoint! Such a beautiful ride full of history and nature. It's definitely one of my absolute favorite motorcycle rides I've done here in Maryland!
So...where should we ride the Rebel 1100 next?!

If this isn't a promo vid for why people should ride then idk what would be. This is amazing.

@LifeOfBurch Месяц назад

The best compliment dude, thank you!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

@BayStateFishing Месяц назад

That turtle you found was a Diamondback Terrapin, which are endangered! They live in brackish water so I'm sure the reclaimed land will serve the turtles well

@jbroadbelt6 Месяц назад

The university of Maryland should use them as their mascot. That would make sense.

@Harambes_Homeboy Месяц назад

Dang your state is beautiful Burch.. Every time you go on the longer rides it really showcases Maryland.

@LifeOfBurch Месяц назад

Thanks dude!! I love being able to show how beautiful this area is! And honestly most of this stuff I would never even see if it weren’t for the bikes 🙌🏻

I lived in southern Maryland for 36 years and this is the first time I've heard of this.

@MithWRX 3 дня назад

Going over the Bay Bridge is horrible enough in a car, I did it once on a bike and it was nerve-wracking. That road looks awesome, and I didn't even know it was a thing.

@MessageApproved 28 дней назад

You are exactly the type of rider I'd love to have as a riding buddy. I'm into nature,good views, and old buildings. No one i know would stop for me to check things out like that. Need more people who appreciate the journey to its full potential.

@rockspydre 25 дней назад

Rides like that are good for the soul.

7:40 Excellent perspective and one of the things I think about when taking back country rides and see something similar

@user-dv7hb2sc9m Месяц назад

Yes, Mr Burch, in the big scheme of things it is only our own thoughts that echo in our minds..... lol, Maryland has some unique spots & I've seen many from within the Chesapeake Bay from a boat. Down in the southern corner of the State both Virginia & Maryland share the peninsula & it's a rare place to travel. Thanks for showing us your journey..... peace & do be safe

@mattsunn4192 Месяц назад

Love the Hoopers Island ride. Gotta do it again myself this year.

Can’t believe it took me so long to do it! Such an incredible ride! 🙌🏻

Well hey man, no way! I’m in Columbia. When you posted this vid I was on the opposite side of the state, riding along 70 out to Point Lookout Overlook with an InstaX Mini doing the same thing but in the forested terrains. Highly recommend, the view is incredible, and you can see on the opposite side of the bank of a river, that’s where WV begins. Hope to catch ya out there!

I live on the Eastern Shore, grew up here. Good to see someone showing the sights we have here. You should ride out to Elliot Island sometime. Quite beautiful out there.

@bobritter7197 Месяц назад

What an extraordinary place! My mind is a bit blown by that, I just can't imagine what it must be like living there... & some really fancy houses, too! Damn.

@jerryczarski5991 5 дней назад

Thank you! I have been a bit homesick, and the Maryland Eastern Shore was my families favorite place to visit in the summer.

That baby turtle you found is a Diamondback Terrapin, the official state reptile of Maryland! It is also believed to be the only turtle in the world that lives exclusively in brackish water, and a species in decline of conversation concern.

@modality14 12 часов назад

Didn even know about this route. I'm gonna need to do this drive very soon.

Heck yeah! Glad you finally made it down there. It's so worth it. PS the H on the ground you double glanced at is for helicopters to know where to land. I looked it up when Bob & I went there.

Great scenery man! That's the kind of ride I like- to see the scenery, especially without major traffic on a big highway.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I just love your positivity man! I'm not sure if you're familiar with Freddie Dobbs' youtube channel from the UK, but he's always got positive vibes going too. Between the two of you it's a toss up who's my favorite moto vlogger lol. Every time I watch y'alls videos I just want to hop back on my bike, even if I've just ridden. Keep it up, and ride safe sir!

@stevenlabounty7134 Месяц назад

That looks like an amazing trip. Glad you got to interact with so much wild life.

@LifeOfBurch Месяц назад

It really was such a nice trip! And I’m a nature lover through and through, so I was pleasantly surprised I got to see so much wildlife! Just a few miles from this place is Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, so I’ll definitely have to make time to get out there one day 🙌🏻

@recondmv6342 5 дней назад

Outstaning video and THANK YOU! I've only been a little past Old Salty's restaurant. Now I have to ride that road and bridge. Incredible. Ride safe and have fun.

@dadventuretv2538 День назад

Ahh that’s so sick!! Congrats on the upgrades! Rides like this really are the best part of motorcycling. Having a cool destination in mind, but just veering off and exploring every chance you get on the way there 🙌🏻🙏🏻

@allandeal5273 15 дней назад

I live in Delaware and ride that all the time. It's a nice ride. Blackwater Wildlife refuge leading into Hoopers is nice and quiet. Curves and scenery! Word of advise, check the tides before going out. The water crosses the road in several places during high tide. You do NOT want that water on your bike. Oh, the police DO patrol and sit on the roads so consider that before you decide to open her up and also be mindful of crossing wildlife. Keep your awareness up.

Squirrel, 🐿️. That’s a great idea since you showed the road and talked about it did you find something that was seemingly totally mind blowing? Cool video and great work.

@sethhoward2060 4 дня назад

From Annapolis too! If you ever need to ride we have about 6 of us that get together and cruise all over. We meet at Broadleaf Tobacco in Severna Park. Stay wheels down amigo!

@Goats_ Месяц назад

Yo Burch! Great video buddy. Beautiful stuff. And if it helps answer your question of 'do those people ever get jaded at their cool houses', prior to my last relocation, I was in the San Francisco Bay area and lived in a beautiful area near the Bay and had a retarded view of the water and green hills, plus the glorious Mt. Tamalpais behind my house. And literally, every day for the 14 years I was there, I felt truly grateful & blessed to be there. The novelty of it Never wore off. Cheers homie. 🤘🥸🤘 🍻

@LifeOfBurch Месяц назад

Great idea man! I was telling Nina I had to take her on this ride soon, so it would be rad to stop by Old Salty’s that time and maybe have her make a video from her perspective of the ride 🤔 Thanks for watching from so far away!! 🙌🏻🙏🏻

@erich.4305 Месяц назад

thanks for making great videos. I am a fellow motorcycle rider, I watch you drinking coffee sitting in my recliner in Connecticut. I like how genuine you are. A great variety of videos. I really like when you hop on the bike and go get a taco. I wish I could afford the bikes you have. I ride a 2003 BMW F650CS,, because it checked all the boxes(fuel injection, ABS, and no chain to maintain) and I could by it without a loan . What do you like most about your rebel? Peace.

@peted2770 День назад

Touching on the erosion comments at 6:00. This is a constant thing that the earth has always done. I find it aggravating that we freak out because our expensive coastline real estate disappears every year. I live on Cape Cod in New England, and every couple of years, the people on the outer Cape demand that the state or the town build sea walls and other structures to stop erosion. This is just a natural thing that the earth does, and in my opinion, disrupting that natural flow adds to all the climate change the world is constantly on about.

Hey Burch! I've been following your videos for a few months now since I'm considering a CMX1100T for my father. Do you ride in Maryland a lot? I've been looking for places like this to ride in the region if you're ever down for some cruising. :)
