    15 was improved with wide shoulders to whites ferry, relatively recently (basically for cyclists, AFAICT). It’s not really pleasant, but it’s not the death trap it used to be. Past whites ferry it’s still a death trap.

    Yup. I rode this stretch both to and from Leesburg just a few weeks ago. It’s fine.

    Just to pile on and say 15 isn’t bad at all. I haven’t ridden it NB from Leesburg to White’s Ferry but have ridden the other direction (Ferry to Leesburg to return to Alexandria on the W&OD). It has the same treatment as the NB side (wide paved shoulder), and while not quiet, scenic, or calming, never felt dangerous to me.

    Thank you all for the info. The plan is to take the WOD to Leesburg, then up to the ferry and come back down the C&O. I hope to do the ride in the next week or two.
