You can take Lombard west through SoWeBo to Gilmour, head south a few
blocks and take Wilkins Ave out to Catonsville and head over to
Patapsco State Park.  If you've got a mountain bike there are some
great trails there and they also have a paved trail system if you have
a road bike.

Another route out of the city would be to take Charles street north.
Just past the train station hang a left.  You'll need to consult a map
because I don't know the turns and the road names, but you are
basically taking a nice twisty road in the Jones Falls river valley.
You can work your way all the way out to the county on some fairly
nice roads.

You will pass some areas where you might roll up your car windows, but
everything should be safe during the daylight.  If you are unsure, do
the route in your car first.
