Biking for Fun and Supplies      The nice thing about camping near the C&O canal is that the towpath is just a short canoe trip across the river from your campsite.  You can jog up the towpath to you vehicles and the bikes.  Now you can go for a ride in either direction.  we went south to Great Falls( They are very impressive).  After touring the falls we went on down to Swains Lock where we got fresh water and ice cream treats.  It is about a 16 mile trip from Violettes lock to Swains Lock and back again.  All flat,  and the towpath is in great shape.   See footbridge to Great Falls in the background                                              Getting fresh water and ice cream!
