I don't usually gush but I can't resist right now. I'm in the middle of my 5 day ride and have arrived in Hancock, MD. You can see some info at http://trackmytour.com/4555. I made reservations at the Riverrun B&B based on the web site and no additional information so wasn't sure what to expect. This place is fantastic. Not only is it brand new with great southern exposure but the little things stand out.

For example, the walkout basement is the bike storage area (and the owner's studio). After hosing my bike off outside I wheeled my bike in only to find a bag marked "clean bike rags." As those of you who have ridden the towpath know, mud is your closest companion in the spring. Next to the rag bag is a beautiful floor pump waiting for your top off pleasure. Oh, and the washing machine was offered up at not charge.

I just met the owner today so no vital interest in the B&B but would love to see him do wells he got many of the little things right.
