Great Allegheny Passage & C & O Canal Towpath trails

I'm starting to prepare for my September bike trip from Connellsville, PA to Washington D.C. This trip is going to be longer and more complicated than previous ones.

As many of you know, I'm a big fan of all the great trails around Washington D.C. I wish I had a couple months to explore them all.

And if you think it wouldn't take a couple months, then you're not familiar w/ all the trails the end up in or near our nation's capitol.
