Just checking back in to update my previous comment. I rode the entire GAP/C&O trail from Pittsburgh to DC in October. I did the whole thing on my hardtail MTB and was pretty happy to have it. For one thing, the Pawpaw tunnel was closed for repairs so I had to detour over the mountain. It wasn't pleasant pushing the bike up the mountain but the ride down was so much better thanks to suspension and bigger tires. I also saw a ton of people riding the trails on a lot of different bikes. Some mountain, some road, some grave, and some hybrid. What I found was that the best bike for the trail is more than likely a gravel bike or hardtail mountain bike. The big key is the tires. I saw so many people on road bikes with skinny 25C or 30C tires that had flats or trouble with the muddy sections. If anyone is looking to ride either or both of these trails I would suggest wider, fast-rolling tires. My next trip will be the Erie Canal trail, which has similar trail surfaces to the GAP/C&O and I will be taking my gravel bike with 700x40C tires. Cheers and thanks again for sharing your adventure. I hope that you find the time to ride more and for goodness sake, cut your mileage a bit. 60-mile days are crazy for a new rider! 🙂

Two great careers, where my success depended upon living and working in challenging conditions--usually outdoors! And I have some great stories to tell, and adventures that I am personally proud of.

Regarding the wet and cold, I wear wool clothing because it will keep you warm even when wet and it doesn’t smell bad like synthetic clothing does when it gets wet or sweaty. I have a (merino, smart-wool) light weight t-shirt, a light weight long sleeved shirt, and for cold weather riding (eg. In the 50’s or 40’s) a mid-weight long sleeved pull over. I generally avoid riding in the rain but when it does rain I have a nylon rain jacket I throw over the wool clothing. Works great for me. Hope that helps. Thanks for this vid

Here is a suggestion I call the great equalizer. I am faster than my wife, so I bought her an eBike (with a 50mile range in pedal assist) and I use my regular MTB. That has allowed us to ride together and still get a workout. If you have an MTB, you can inflate the tires to the max, or replace the tires with less aggressive tires and it won't be much different than riding a hybrid (unless you are running very small chainrings which will limit your top speeds).

A decent HT weighs about 30 lbs vs a 'hybrid' at an average of 25 to 30 lbs. (based on FX 3 to Verve 2) Hybrid is a term applied to variety of bikes. A hybrid could be a heavy cruiser type bike or almost a flat bar type road-gravel bike. You want at least a 32mm wide tire for multi-day ride, preferably a 40 to 45mm tire. You have to make clear what you mean. But a 2" wide tire XC mtb would be FINE. 30 lbs with probably a 100mm or 120 mm fork. Was this your fist foray of multi-day riding? 😂

First of all I did enjoy your video and it will be helpful to people looking for advice on what not to do. I think your first mistake was lack of proper planning. The C/O is beautiful but demanding ride at times. I would not recommend a rented bike unless I was very familiar with the bike I was renting. Tire size and fork clearance are two things to consider, there will be mud. Time of year when riding makes a big difference, we choose August. People will say it's too hot in August but for the most part you are riding in a tree canopy that keeps the sun at bay and if you do get caught in the rain it can actually be refreshing. Shorter mileage days! Lots to see and enjoy. Research the history of the canal, if your just pounding out miles then your going to miss a big part of what makes this a great ride. One last thing, ditch the big padded saddle, they will hurt you in places you don't want to be hurting. Thanks for your vid.

When from around a bend ahead I heard a huge commotion. Next thing I know Molly comes flying past with something in her mouth followed by one angry fisherman. The little sod had snatched a decent sized fish right off the blokes line as he was reeling it in. The fisherman got so flustered he ended up falling in the canal, and lost his shoes in the subsequent chase for his catch. I think that episode cost me $50 and a very big sorry.

You didn't really say what the benefit of a hybrid was over the MTB. If it is just the tires then that is easily remedied as you can get fast-rolling tires for a mountain bike. I have them on my hardtail as I ride a lot of mixed surfaces. I guess if you are renting bikes then you might opt for a gravel/hybrid bike. So was it just the heavy lugs of the MTB that you felt were the issue? Thanks for the video.

Great video! I live in Cumberland and prefer riding my mountain bike over my hybrid when riding the C&0. When the trail gets very muddy the slicker tires of a hybrid can lose their grip on the shoulders of the water-filled mudholes and cause a wreck. If you can time your ride during the dry season then I can see why you would recommend hybrid tires. In my experience if you only have a mountain bike then fill your tires to the max air pressure and they will roll smoother and faster on the dry, packed trail while still giving you grip during unexpected muddy conditions..
