Been mapping it for a few days now and I plan to get rolling around 7am or so. Make it to harpers ferry, have some lunch rest up a little bit, then make the journey back. Taking 144 all the way out there is pretty cool and at some points you go into a time warp traveling through old towns. And the best part is you can tell your buddies you rode through three states (md,wv,va)
Any takers?
Just to note that the hills on that route can kick you hard if you're fully loaded touring, which can be fun if your into that but be warned.
Rt 40 going through Frederick is like 6 lanes of 50mph road, I've been on it and never had an issue taking the lane as it mostly serves right hand turning traffic so it sounds a lot worse then it is, disclaimer: I've never been on it during rush hour so YMV at that time period.
