Day 3: 63 Miles- Harpers Ferry, WV to Hancock, MD - Daniel Gulisano

Today we woke up later than usual because it was raining, and we got going a little after 7. We were all happy to leave Harpers Ferry after the series of unfortunate events that took place yesterday. We rode to a town with a Sheetz and a cafe. At the cafe some guys got huge breakfasts that fueled them well. As for myself I helped myself to the Sheetz.

The whole day we were on towpaths and split up into groups. It was more relaxing and we passed a few dams, but the trail started to get quite bumpy. For lunch, we stopped at the Sheetz in a town called Williamsport. This is when I was the first to discover the magnificence of Sheetz Made to Order. I ordered an Italian sub and it put me in the right mentality for the afternoon. We proceeded to ride about 25 miles after lunch to where we were staying, a pretty town called Hancock.

We’re spending the night in a park pavilion and some of the guys are cowboying (sleeping outside with only your pad and sleeping bag), but I won’t be because of my fear of the outdoors. Luckily there’s a Sheetz across the street from where we’re sleeping. I think I’m going 3/3 on the Sheetz for today. Can’t wait for another day of towpaths. Gulisano signing off.
