Hoping to do the above segment April 1 and 2 and wondering if anyone can comment on the condition of the trail and whether there are any concerns. Thanks for any input

The actual C&O from Hancock to Harpers Ferry will be a breeze. Getting from Berkeley Springs to Hancock to get on the trail will be a challenge. I’ve read that there’s a serious lack of shoulder along the highway. Call the bike shop in Hancock and ask if people ride US-522, if it’s safe, and if not, if they recommend alternatives, such as a shuttle.
