Hi,

I'm planning a trip from Western Maryland to Richmond, VA this summer and I'm working on a route. I want to leave the C&O Towpath at Brunswick, MD, cross the Potomac into VA and head south, linking up with the ACA East Coast route south of Manassas, VA.

I was thinking of Rt. 287 from Brunswick to Purcellville, Old Dominion Trail from there to Leesburg, then Rt 15 south toward Manassas. I happened to ride down 287 by car a while back and noticed not much shoulder. Haven't been on Rt. 15 in a while.

Anyone have any route suggestions for that stretch between Brunswick and Manassas?

I don't want to take the C&O all the way to DC and link with the ACA there because it'll add time I don't have and I've already done that.

Thanks!
