Still scheduled to hit Prickett's Fort at 5pm. Join me there for a ride or meet up at the 3rd street bridge.
Look below.

Day 7 ends in Paw Paw WV with no cell service
Today was a great day at the beginning and a very, very tough day at the end. From Williamsport, MD I rode the rail trail all the way into Hancock. BEAUTIFUL and it went fast.
Sad to see Hancock as I remember it as a nice downtown but all the stores are out of business. Couldn't find a family diner and was forced to eat a breakfast at a Hardees.
From there the road I departed the C&O canal because of the advise I had received from a local bike shop. With the weight I'm carrying and the size of my tires it was not advisable to continue. This meant back to the roads. I climbed out of the Potomac river valley to Berkely Springs, WV and from there on route 9 to Paw Paw. CLIMBED FOREVER ON ROUTE 9.
Very tired when I got to Paw then there was no cell service!! Good thing I had a calling card and I called home to let them know I was in.
Had a pizza for dinner with ice cream!
