We rode 50 miles to Williamsport, lots of variety, easy rolling, good company. Our BnB last night was up the mountain at an altitude of 1630 feet, so we had a nice descent back to river level. Then we rode about 22 miles on the Western Maryland Rail Trail, which is paved, a nice change, as we have been on unpaved trails since Pittsburgh. Also, there was no mud. We stopped in Hancock to check out a bike shop and mourn the loss of a wonder bakery, than were back on the now dry towpath for another 18 miles. My friends Susan and Ziva drove up from the DC area to ride with us, as they have done several rides with Ken and Nancy and knew most of the group. They originally introduced me to this group, for which I am very grateful.
The towpath trail goes between the cliff and the river. Where is the canal?
We usually picnic at a spot with tables, but today the convenient spot near the trail that the vehicle could access was just a clearing, so it was an old-fashioned picnic on the ground.
Our hardy group
