I'm getting ready to make the same trip! I'm planning on biking up to attend the Defest music festival in Cumberland at the end of May. This will be my first bike packing experience. I'm an avid backpacker and fair weather commuter bicyclist. I'll be working with a bike shop local to be to put together a rental bike set up for the trip. Any tips/suggestions/warnings you might provide to someone taking on this trail headed upstream? Is there anything you'd do differently if you were to ride this route again?
One day I will do this. I still haven't done the full length of the W&OD, and that would only take a single day...not even.
