Mtn. bike it. A guy on a recumbent with street tires I met on the trail in the southern end. He had already did the SOBO pass. So it could be done with a street bike, just not desireable.
I downloaded them to the Gallery but cant get them in this post. So check this below for the photos:

Sorry about the quality - their cellphone photos.
Trail surface is 1" gravel and they are putting down 1/4" gravel and some spots are packed dirt. Some gravel is too thick in spots.
It was great trip. The street fair in Marlinton was a hoot.
Happy Camper: I "crashed" @ Jack Horner's store MP45. I ran out of water 15 miles earlier and thought I could make it. WRONG. Don't drink Mtn. Dew & 1/2 pizza on a hot day and expect not to throw up & lie down. Lesson learned.
Now I'm gonna head off & do the C&O canal path. Prob start at Harper's Ferry or Williamsport and head west. Maybe this thursday or friday.
