C&O-J29- Harper's Ferry

Hey Everyone! Greetings from the C&O-J29 trip! We've been having quite the adventure on our trek! We have successfully completed the Allegehny passage bike path and are a little more than half way through the C&O Canal bike path. Getting out of Pittsburgh was a bit of a challenge but everyone was excited to start the trip. The first day consisted of about 6 flat tires which left the group a little frustrated but also gave everyone a chance to learn some bike mechanics. We're all pros by now! We all spent some time in Ohiopyle, PA with a day of white water rafting. Everyone had a blast! The best part was making fun of the other groups that kept getting stuck on rocks! Riding through Pennsylvania on the Allegehny trail was a treat. It is very flat, compared to the C&O which can get a little bumpy at times. We are all getting excited to arrive in DC, which is just around the corner. We have plenty of pictures which we will post once we have reached our destination! Right now we are in Harper's Ferry and looking forward to expoloring the Civil War town tomorrow...hopefully see a reenactment. We will keep you posted.
