Definitely true on #2 - Lots of things closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Also, be aware that there are a few detours on the C&O that may involve getting off the bike and walking and /or pulling your bags off your bike. Be careful where they've put down mulch as it can be slick after rain. BTW, we did our ride (along with the GAP) a few weeks ago. I have a playlist on my own channel of my collected video. I should have it all there by the weekend.
@@JPBVideo yes the mulch was very difficult after carrying our bikes up the stairs. I do have a few other video ideas from our trip as I took a lot of footage. I’ll check out your channel. Thanks for watching.
I just rode the C&O with 7 other people. With, perhaps, one exception, none of us would ride it again. Sure, do it once . . . but it is a massive snooze riding through a tunnel of gravel below and a canopy of trees above. I couldn't wait for it to be over.

I did enjoy the lock houses and sections of the trail. We have a few other rides on the bucket list.
