We did a little bit of the C&O as a part of Bike Virginia back in, I think, 2004 (or was it 2003?) The weather had been rainy prior, and the trail was very, very sticky MUD in parts. I was riding my skinny-tired road bike and had to walk parts of it. Didn't go too well for my Speedplay X-Series cleats. It was a beautiful stretch, but if I ever rode it again, it would be on a mountain bike for sure!
