How far up did you go? I'm planning on a 2-3 day trip up the C&O myself at some point this summer.

I parked at Great Falls, and went as far as Harpers Ferry, around the 61 mile marker, but I only did 47 miles. I ideally need a day off in there somewhere, and will work to get that in the future. I ran into a fellow who had biked down from Pittsburg on the Allegheny trail, and was headed to Georgetown, then back up in two weeks. It's a very nice ride in good weather. It is still a little muddy from the march flodding above the 26 mile marker, but not a problem to get through.

Another nice ride in at 12 C ( 55 F). Traffic is getting heavier earlier, as the light and warm mornings seems to bring them all out earlier.
