Okay locals, I've coordinated with my family, factored in our constraints, and even exchanged a couple of emails with Tony DeFilippo to get some tips. Here is our plan for the C&O tour "rolling start" for any who wish to simply say "hi", ride with us a while, our ride with us all the way to Cumberland.
Our start date is Tuesday, October 6. Our train that includes friend (Steve Butcher), son-in-law (Carey Jones), and me will depart out of Silver Spring, MD. We'll make two stops to meet up with folks. The first stop will be in Bethesda. We will meet up at 0830 at Bethesda Bagels (http://www.bethesdabagels.com/) and plan to roll out by 0915. That allows us to reach our next stop at Fletchers Boathouse (C&O rendezvous) by 0945ish. From there we'll head north on the C&O for a few days. For any who might be joining us for part of the way, we plan to lunch in Leesburg that Tuesday, and camp the first night at the Indian Flats hiker/biker site at approx. mile 42. I believe Tony is planning to join us for the first day and overnight. I recall that Rusty, Erl, Jeff, Kellie, and Minh have all expressed interest in some level of participation. I hope to meet several of you on this trip...and thanks again to everyone who offered planning help!
