Day 1
Alone
I finally found some time, better yet, I finally decided that I needed to stop being self-conscious and start writing some of my cycling chronicles. Please be patient with me, as English is my second language.
And with that, I begin with Day 1. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by retired friends and family. My father-in-law who is now retired, kindly dropped me off at Cumberland the starting point of this trip. Cumberland is such a beautiful town nestled between mountains. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to wake up to those mountains every day.

One of my favorite things about the C&O Canal, naturally is how close to me it is and the amount of people from other states you get to meet and talk to on the way. On my first day, I met four guys traveling from North Carolina to enjoy the beauty of the C&O Canal. After a brief conversation, they departed on their trip.
After watching them vanish into the distance, I decided that it was time for me to get going on my own quiet and picturesque ride. My destination: Hancock, Maryland, where my friend Keath awaited our meeting. The plan? To locate one of the nearby campsites and call it a day
Today's ride: 60 miles (97 km)
Total: 210 miles (338 km)
