Join me as I prepare to bike the C&O Canal towpath from Cumberland, MD (mile marker 184.5) to Washington, DC (mile 0) over three days Sep 30 & Oct 1-2. I'll be posting updates during my ride along the way.
On day 1, I plan to bike 60.5 miles from Cumberland, MD (mile 184.5) to Hancock, MD (mile 124).
On day 2, I plan to bike 66 miles from Hancock to Knoxville, MD (mile 58).
On day 3, I plan to bike 58 miles from Knoxville to Georgetown (mile 0).
I biked the C&O Canal back in 1976 or 1977 when I was a member of Boy Scout Troop 25 in Muncy, PA. I think we biked it over 6 or 7 days. This time, it will be a little more intense but I still plan to enjoy the beauty of the trail.
I recently biked a 65 mile section from Williamsport, MD (mile 100) to Whites Ferry, MD (mile 35). Here are a few pics and a video from that training ride a couple of weeks ago:
Good luck John, have fun. Don't forget to enjoy the journey and take photos. Easy to get into the zone and just keep pedaling.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I am wishing you a good ride with great weather.
