Starting my trip tomorrow. Riding the Capitol / Amtrak to D.C. Hoping to be in Pittsburgh on Friday. Anyone else? Any advice? Carrying as little as possible with AirBnB and B&B stops along the way. Thunderstorms and a day of rain to start the trip kinda sucks but whatever. Train gets into D.C. Around 1pm - Harper's Ferry stop day one.

I am actually starting from Ohiopyle PA to D.C Friday and hoping to be in D.C by Tuesday. How is the C&O conditions and paw paw tunnel closure? Is it a mud pit?

Trip was awesome - not muddy but wet and I was covered in grime. I rode a 29er with 2.5" tires and it tracked well. Some guys on cyclocross bikes were complaining which i found odd. C&O is the best. Not as "polished" as the GAP and love it.
