We stayed at a BB right in the heart of Harpers Ferry. http://hfstonehouse.com/ A good place and a great location, the town is built on the side of a steep hill and this house is almost at the bottom and very near the walk bridge across to the CO. We found it was nicely quiet during the week but bustling on the weekend. Personally, I would spend 2 nights and not rush it too much. There is also a hostel *in* Harpers Ferry, http://www.teahorsehostel.com/ , it looked nice but it's at the TOP of the HILL. : ) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Hey Tony, You might consider staying at the Harpers Ferry Youth Hostel: http://www.hiusa.org/harpersferry (Actually across the tracks from the CO Towpath in Knoxville, MD - a short ride of about a mile.) $20 bucks for a bunk, showers and breakfast. (Private room camping available, too.) Great folks and interesting company! Paul Germain Midlothian, VA Tony DeFilippo vpi...@gmail.com Aug 05 11:40AM -0400 Hey Brian, Thanks, another thing to add to the 'inspection' process I guess. I haven't put enough miles on a FD to get the outer plate fatigued yet. I'd take wearing out a piece of gear like that as a kind of satisfying... at least once I was able to complete the ride at hand! I hear you on the multi-day ride. My own goal in that regard is to do the ~70mile CO Canal trip from my place to Harpers Ferry, WV... spend the night in a BB and then come back. Trying to talk my wife into it!

One too many chain sucks broke the outer plate. I would like to work up to a longer multiple-day ride some day. More just riding in my future.
