Am riding Pitts to DC starting the 21st of Oct. Been following the weather and it looks to be cold and wet. Leaving dry and warm weather here in Ca and wondering what the conditions of the trails are and how are the colors ?

We did the trail in May and it rained rather hard one day. It was terrible to say the least. Pot hole of water and slowed up down considerably. The next day the trail improved considerably but if it is going to rain be prepared.

It has been unseasonably cool lately (most all of Sept). Here in October it has been 70s during the day, 50s at night. By the time you arrive Oct. 21 the peak color in Pennsylvania will probably be a little past prime (but still pretty), however WV and MD should be just fine. If you wish, ask again a couple of days before you leave and I'll give you an update.

I'm always inquiring of guests who stay with us what the conditions on the trail are like. Remind me about conditions and I'll relay what other riders are saying.

Just came off the trail yesterday. Pittsburg to Paw Paw. Passage is in excellent condition and the C&O between Cumberland and Paw Paw is rough and muddy in spots but not too bad. You will get muddy and with the approaching storms the trail may be in worse shape. Of course your ride is another week away so the trail may dry up. There will still be rutted areas along the route. As far as stopping for lunch in Paw Paw...the Liberty Gas Station is IT. There is a road side sign for Big & Tings Best Wings in Town...don't bother riding up the hill. Please see my review of Wrenwood B&B in another post. My wife and I greatly enjoyed our stay.
