Harpers Ferry to Reston - Overnight Camping event- April 4-5, 2009
Mark Hollinger will be leading the two day bike ride and pulling his 4 year old son and gear in a trailer. This will be a leisurely paced ride; just 20-30 miles per day. We can grab a bite to eat in Harpers Ferry before heading off on the C&O Canal bike path. Day One ends at a campground located on the path, just a few miles west of Whites Ferry. We'll pitch our tents and relax around the campfire. On Day Two, we are a short roll away to Whites Ferry where we may stop for breakfast. The ferry will take us across the Potomac river to Virginia. After landing, we will bicycle into Leesburg and follow the W&OD bike path to Reston and home. Since we will be riding on the crushed stone, dirt trail of the C&O, wide tires are recommended. Touring, hybrid, or mountain bikes work best. If you are interested in participating in this ride or have questions, please contact Mark Hollinger at markahollinger@gmail.com or call 703-376-4992.
