The C&O Canal Trek is a 400+ mile off-road ride from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C. along a rail-to-trail and an old canal towpath. The group met today at the Doubletree Hotel Pittsburgh and has an afternoon of sight-seeing and some bike repairs planned. The group played some name games to get to know one-another and then had a discussion on bike safety and rules of the road. They have very comfortable accommodations at Doubletree Hotel tonight and tomorrow night and then Tuesday they bike southeast on their 13 day outdoor adventure.
