Rode out and back from home this weekend. Trail is in great condition out to Harpers Ferry except for the washout at Mile 53 near Brunswick. Not easy to get around. Tried both ways. Through the dry canal/along the RR tracks and fording the stream closer to the river. Neither option is easy. I managed to do both without removing panniers, but did get a little assist on the fording route getting up the steep mud bank from a hiker. Either way you go, be prepared for a difficult detour until it is fixed.
