Cumberland to Hanover early October

This talk of closures. Ten of us are doing Cumberland to Hanover, with a shuttle in Hanover to bring us back again for a same-day ride.

If there are closures, we would be delayed meeting our prearranged shuttle.

What is the likelihood of one or more closures between Cumberland and Hanover in early October? Many thanks for the expertise on this board.

I’m sorry, that’s a correction: Cumberland to Hancock

I believe the closures you may be referring to are on the GAP Trail and not the C&O Towpath. The only detour, not closure, on the Towpath between Hancock and Cumberland is at Polly Pond Creek where the bridge is out. There is a detour using the Western Maryland Rail Trail paralleling the Towpath. That detour should not impact your arrival schedule for your shuttle.
