I'm back on the C&O Trail. It's a beautiful trail that runs alongside the historic Chesapeake and Ohio Canal from Cumberland MD to Washington DC. The trail has free hiker/biker campsites every 5-6 miles, historic canal locks, and old lock houses. One of the best times to ride is in the spring when everything is fresh and green. It's like riding through a green tunnel. Follow along and see my ride.

Thomas, you have captured the essence of why many of us ride our bikes. The fresh air, the freedom, nature, making new friends, and so much more. Thanks for taking the time to create these videos and share them with us.

Super fun episode! Those geese didn't know how much you love birds, or they would have stopped and introduced themselves! Thanks for all you do to take us along! Peace & Prayers.

Nice ride.Lots of wildlife and other obstacles in the trail this day. Glad the geese didn't decided to attack! 😂 Fun to see the locks. That tunnel section and the cliffy channel area was really cool. Great trip. Have a nice day.

It's a beautiful trail one of those most known biking trails in the US. I'm glad that those geese didn't attack me but the other guy got hit. One of the geese flew up and hit him with wings, lol but he was okay. Thanks for watching and have a great week.

You're getting me stoked for my own trip in a couple of weeks. Will be doing the GAP and C&O in the other direction.

@FollowThomas 3 месяца назад

I've done it the other direction three times before but this way is an easier downhill ride.

This trail looks amazing! Thank you for taking us with you so that we can armchair travel and explore. We love your bike rides! 🙂 The tunnel would have been creepy! Waiting to see zombies pop out lol.

Was planning on the OTET this fall, but again, GAP/C&O is always on my mind. That area just past Little Orleans is the Western Maryland Rail Trail. Good option on a rainy day since it’s paved. Hope you had a great trip.

@FollowThomas 3 месяца назад

GAP/C&O is always in my mind. I think this was my fourth time riding it, such a great trail. I'm gonna ride the OTET at the end of July. I'm gonna pm you about it.

At 12:54 was a ramp to/from the paved Western Md Rail Trail that runs pretty much parallel to the C&O. There are just a few crossover opportunities between mp 141 Little Orleans mp 124 Hancock and mp 114.5 Big Springs near Ft Frederick...have to watch asphalt push-ups from tree roots.

I rode the Western MD trail the next day about 10 miles, started from Hancock
