BikeSUP / 31 miles by bike / 10 miles river SUP / 9 hours 20 minutes

This was BikeSUP trip #7. (See mission #1 here, mission #2 here and a guide to BikeSUP here.)

I’m slowly section-paddling the Potomac River, mostly on a standup paddle board and using my bike to shuttle. Including this trip, I’ve done from Cumberland Valley Hiker-Biker Campsite downstream to Monocacy Aqueduct (excluding about a mile either side of Dam 4, which is definitely NOT paddle-able).

For this trip, I rode from Harpers Ferry to the Lander Boat Ramp, which is about halfway between Brunswick and Point of Rocks. There, I inflated my SUP, strapped on my bike, and paddled down as far as the Monocacy boat ramp. From there, I packed up the board and rode home.
