Would anyone be interested in a TE-DC ride on the C&O canal? Saturday's are currently best for me, but Sunday is also a possibility.
I'm especially hoping to meet Zen and F8th and the others that I've only met on line.
What about Saturday June 21?

June 21st works for me as well, Nicole. Would love to meet you and the rest of the crew since I've only met Zen in person.

I would like to join you but will be en route to NY for my parents' 50th anniversary party.
Have fun!

I really need to spend some long miles on the C&O on the Big Buzz, but I don't think June will work for me for that.

Can't make that one!!
I have planned on doing Whites Ferry to Harpers Ferry this summer though, maybe in July when I get back from SC.

Probably a very stupid question, but I've never biked the canal so I have to ask - this is something I would need my hybrid for I presume, rather than my road bike?

As long as you have wider tires on that road bike you should be ok. The path is mostly crushed gravel and some tree roots here and there. At least for the sections I've been on it. Don't forget you can rent hybrids cheaply too in the area.

All: I threw out June 21 because it looked good on my calendar. If it's no good for you, please suggest and alternative.
Possegal: If your bike can take 28mm semi knobby tires you'd be ok on it. Otherwise, you'll be better on your hybrid. I'll be on a flat bar road bike with 30mm tires. Kalidurga rides the canal on a cyclocross bike.I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

I'll be out of town June 14/15 and 21/22, and Cycle Across Maryland is July 26-27, but other than that I'm around and would love to do a canal ride.

I'm not going anywhere.
In fact, I'm riding out of Williamsport tomorrow and north out of Hancock sometime in the coming month.
