Is anyone interested in joining me for a ride on the C&O this Saturday, 11/3? If so let's discuss mileage and distance. I'm thinking of a day ride, 35 miles at the most or 14 miles at the least. We can meet up, ride to a nearby town, have lunch then ride back to our cars.
I wish I were closer to you, I would LOVE to do this!Quote:

I would like to do that, let's see if I can be injury free between now and next season :)Quote:

You did a large portion of the ride. Let me know if you're ever in the area and would like to meet up for a ride along the C&O.Quote:

We'll check into trail conditions before Saturday or Sunday. I have a lock if we need to use one. The Weather looks promising for the weekend, sunny and 60 degrees for the high.
I did the GAP from McKeesport, PA to Cumberland, MD and the C&O from Cumberland, MD to Harper's Ferry, WV. Unfortunately, I was not able to finish the last 40 miles from Harper's Ferry to Great Falls, MD. I've done the 15 miles from Georgetown, DC to Great Falls before. I imagine it will be pretty messy for the next few weeks at least.Quote:

That's fine with me. It might be best to wait out the recovery from Sandy just in case some trees decide to fall due to wet ground.
Let's keep in touch about riding the following weekend, 11/10 or 11/11.
I am planning to ride on the C&O this weekend. The weather looks very promising. Anyone interested in joining me?
Shame I dont' check in here more often... I rode the newly opened section of the C&O (for the second time) on the 11th. They did a damned fine job of rebuilding and it's gorgeous up thataways.
