I mapped a route from leesburg to harpers ferry with Google and they suggested following Loyalty Rd out of Waterford and then Featherbed Lan- but yeah, funny name as it is really bumpy and I had a touring bike. Looks like Old Wheatland is my road. THANKS

that sounds excellent- this short bit of dirt road is really loose and not hard packed enough for a road bike-thanks for alternate route!!

excellent idea, didnt even think of this option. Great!

Great help, thank Jim, will look into both options in two states. Looking forward to my trip.

Yes, will be riding the C&O to Harpers Ferry, then staying overnight in town, and hoping to do an interesting and scenic day ride loop around Harpers Ferry. Thanks for the thought.

not sure if my reply went through, just using this forum for the first time. Wanted to make sure my ‘thanks’ went your way. Google suggest old waterford Rd to waterford then on to Lovettesville. Don’t see 287 on the map?

wow, great help. I am checking out the map now and checking out options.Curious why you bear left after Taylorstown instead of going right to head more direct on rt 665. also what’s your opinion of riding on 15/James Monroe Hwy? And what do you think of crossing into Brunswick on the Berlin Turnpike as compared to crossing at Point of Rocks? Thanks again…really nice to talk with other riders. I’m from northeast PENN. and visiting this area for a few days, will have a touring bike so road and dirt are fine.
