In Philly.

Good luck, guys!  I did it in 2007, on a Bike Friday New World Tourist.  Flew into Pittsburgh and out of DC, one of the cool things about having a bike that fits in a suitcase.  Weather is everything, especially on the C&O.  One of the best cycling trips I have ever done!

Quickbeam green with envy,

Eric

My wife and I are doing the C&O path in October - she on her Saluki and me on my Ram. I'd like to try and fit some 32mm wide tires on my Ram, but I'm not sure if they will fit with the Longboards - I'll have to see.

What size tires are you guys using?

That sounds like a wonderful trip, one that I hope I can take one day.  I'm looking forward to the ride report and info on C&O trail condition, tire sizes, etc.  Have a great ride, Steve

Justin,

We drive to Boston Pa Friday then get shuttled to DC Saturday morning .. get dumped off and ride back to the cars.  We don't get close to Philly.  Least ways not that I know of.

My buddy Doug is riding the C&O at the same time, heading from Pittsburg to DC. You will probably pass him at some point. I will forward him your contact info, but if you see a guy on a blue Hilsen trudging along with some panniers attached, say howdy-do.

I ride that pair of trails (they are two distinct surfaces, C&O so much more weather dependent) on my Rambouillet with 28s under SKS fenders. The extra clearance from the fenders the 28s leave let's you cope thought the unavoidable "pot" or low place in the trail surface that collects and holds water forming some fender-filling muck. If you have rain, remember that the 17 miles before Hancock, MD have a paved alternate route on the W. MD railroad trail.

I'm on Carova, Beach, NC right now but would love to cross paths near your terminus, when do you anticipate reaching Boston?
