Shepherdstown, WV (C&O 72.8) to Leesburg, VA via White’s Ferry (C&O 35.5)Today’s ride will start on the canal and end with road riding into Leesburg, VA. Traffic will be present. Group riding and helmets are a must. The canal section contains the beautiful Harpers Ferry (keep an eye out for kayakers). Today we will cross the Appalachian Trail and the Monocacy Aqueduct, a 500 foot, seven arch, stone bridge used to carry the canal over the Monocacy River. The aqueduct took 4 years to build and was completed in 1833. We will cross the Potomac River on White’s Ferry ($2 for bikes $5 for cars) and then peddle uphill to Leesburg, VA
