326: Return to the C&O - Takeaways

Another C&O bicycle adventure is in the books... but as always, I learn something with every tour. On this edition, the takeaways from the 2023 return to the C&O, plus a peek at what's ahead this summer on The Pedalshift Project!

1 - The C&O Naysayers have less to naysay as the surface improvement expands

 

2 - Get yourself a water purifier

 

3 - Sitting out vs. pedaling through bad weather

 

4 - Don't wait to amass gear... get out there and ride with what you have

 

5 - I love we're "back" but kind of low key missing the empty trail

 

6 - After the trip I checked out the road route from Point of Rocks to Leesburg. I can't recommend it, except maybe the other way.

 

7 - Amtrak is such a good way to make this trip work, and there's rumors we might get MARC out to Cumberland too
