I would like to know if it is OK to park my vehicle (an old pick-up truck)for an extended period (say 10 days tops)while I use the trail? I would be using one of the parking areas near the St. Charles trailhead.

Thanks!

I rode from St Charles to Marthasburg a couple of weeks ago and at the St. Charles trailhead the lots had signs saying no parking from 2AM to 5AM. I asked at the bike shop on Main Street and they said that in the lot behind their shop you could park in the last row. I stayed at the Country Suite Hotel on the south end of Main the night before I rode and they let me park my truck in their lot while I was gone. They also kept my luggage for me so I wouldnt have to leave it in my truck, so that might be an option if you are getting there the night before you ride. I,m sure one of the B&B's would probably do the same. Have a great ride.
