I rode from Mckeesport to Harpers Ferry roundtrip in September 2008 on a hybrid. It took 13 days 12 nights only averaged 38 miles a day. 300 hundred dollar Schwinn 21 speed hybrid is way slower than a road bike. Awesome 301 video. I did plenty of cycling on GAP and C and O in 2010. I bought and am demolishing Shamrock bar at mile 116 on the GAP and will post a volunteers wanted ad on Craigslist November 2010. It will be Smithdale Trailhead and my camper lot.
Nice video! I notice that you are riding a Surly Long Haul Trucker on the C &O. How was the trail on a traditional touring/road bike. I will be doing the entire trail this spring. I was wondering if I needed a mountain bike or hybrid. I would like to ride my Novara Randone. Thanks.
I was riding a Surly Cross-Check with cyclo-cross (32mm) tires. I don't think you need a mountain bike for the C&O, just a good set of cyclo-cross tires.
