We are bicycling self-supported and camping fro DC to Pitsburgh and back to DC. A roundtrip of the C&O and GAP. My concern is after we reach Pittsburgh we will turn around and head back and may not have time to pedal back to Dravo campsite. Is there anything in between? Thanks for responses and suggestions.

No Campsites in between, only hotels. You would have to camp out at Dravo, leave your tent set up to lighten your bike and do a Pgh. and back. All doable. No one would bother your stuff there.

Thanks. That's what our plan will be then. If we can't make it there and back, we may just spring for a room in Homestead. We're planning on 60 to 80-mile days but if we are doing well we were hoping not to have to stop at Dravo on the way up.

Remember that just a little passed the Boston Trailhead most of the way to Pittsburgh will be on asphalt. You will pick up 1 1/2 mph on the smooth surface. You will hit some small hills and bridge ramps also. I have two videos on YouTube where you see everyturn you have to make. If you are interested just do a YouTube search for "bike ride waterfront to boston or "bike ride waterfront to pittsburgh" They should be the first ones to come up in the search. Have a great trip.
