C&O Ride

My Thanksgiving ride from Cumberland, MD to Washington DC on the C&O canal towpath. The C&O canal towpath offers several hiker-biker campsites on a free, first-come, first-served basis. Except for Swain's Lock hiker-bike campsite, almost all others are remote and far from a nearby vehicle access.   Water faucets are shutdown between mid-November to mid-April so you will need to load up on water at one of the food stops, which are roughly available every 15 miles. I carried 5 x 32 Oz water bottles so I really had to make only two food/water stops during my 3-day trip.
