Has anyone biked to/from Martinsburg Amtrak station to the C&O canal in Shepherdstown? If so, how safe was it to bike on the streets?

I’ve ridden a portion of Rt 45 (Martinsburg Pike) north from Shepherdstown. It’s a 2-lane highway with a fair amount of traffic travelling pretty fast. There are shoulders to ride on but it’s not for the faint of heart. There are several hills along the way.

Probably doable but challenging for most riders.

We’ll see what others that live near there may respond to your inquiry.
