C&O: day 2

The best B&B breakfast this morning: eggs benedict, cheesy hash brown casserole, baked oatmeal (like an oatmeal cookie!), pancakes, fresh fruit, Alabama tomato pie, juices and coffee. Wow!

Even in the morning fog, the pink bicycle outside was beautiful.

The best tip ever from Dave: ride the PAVED Western Maryland Rail Trail for 20 miles,

instead of the muddy dirt C&O on the other side of the canal.

Lunch in Hancock where we managed to avoid yet another rainstorm.

Except that later, we got completely dumped on and soaked. It would have been so much worse if we’d been riding the C&O. One more look at the beautiful paved trail,

before we go back to packed dirt and mud.

We ended today’s ride in Williamsport. Miles = 38.
