Dang I want to go. I've been up there a bunch of times with a number of 2 and 4 wheeled vehicles. I drive slo tho
Too bad I'm going on a 40-60 mile road bike ride. If it cancels I might tag along with yall though.
Theres a Chevron station at the very very top of 400/19 called Petro Fast Food Store at the route 60 and 400 crossing which is normally a very good meeting point. Its about 20~30 miles north of C&O and very close the the good roadways if you want to consider.

Best place to eat is at T.W.O. (Two Wheels Only). You'll have to park on the street but they got the best burgers w/i 50 miles.
