Planning to ride from DC to Hancock, starting May 23rd. First time on the trail, I have a Trek DS 8.3. I don't intend this to be a grueling event. DC to Whites Ferry the first day, and then hang out, Whites Ferry to Shepherdstown the second day, stop and enjoy the area, and the last day Shepherdstown to Hancock. Any recent terrain or trail issues worth mentioning? Any ride sugggestions?

I have a Trek DS 8.3 too and did the full Pittsburgh to DC ride last Oct. Perfect bike for this! Very efficient ride. I had no problems at all. You'll have a great time.

Trail conditions should be good at the end of May. When I rode, it was the week after some heavy rains and the trail was muddy in spots. Also, it was during the govt shutdown and there was no trail maintenance, so I had to lift the bike over a few downed trees. Still, it was a pretty easy ride. Your trip should go even smoother. Good luck!
