Just finished the GAP from Pittsburgh to Cumberland, with terrific weather, emerging autumn color, and great riding conditions. One thing I didn't quite expect was the dearth of services in towns. Even larger towns like Ohiopyle were nearly deserted on a Tuesday.

It's later in the season, so I expected limited options, but it was much more limited than what I thought it would be. Lots of places had websites that indicated they were open daily, but if you called, they were closed Tuesday and Wednesday (at least).

Lesson: Call ahead to confirm the place you planned on stopping at is really open.

Enjoy the ride!
