How about the Appalachian Trail?  Not far at all from your neck of the woods.

Almost any "straight" hike can be turned into a loop hike with the help of
a bicycle.  It goes like this:

1. Drop pack off in the woods at hike-starting point.
    (You might even skip this step if the pack is light enough.)
2. Drive to hike-ending point, park car.
3. Ride bike back to hike-starting point.
     If you skipped Step 1, don't forget the day-pack!
4. Park bike in woods, grab the pack, and hike back to car.

I've walked a couple hundred miles of AT using this method.
