Leaving car near Pittsburg - shuttling to Cumberland.
1)Is GAP finished into Pittsburg - should we end ride at Homestead or Boston to avoid construction? Not opposed to a connector trail to a different end point.
2) Is there a B&B/hotel near Pittsburgh that will allow car parking for 4 days - will book last night's lodging.
All comments appreciated!

I believe you can take it right into downtown Pittsburgh. There may be a construction detour somewhere. Not sure about that, but someone will chime in or you can check here on the site, as I beleive info on route detours are posted here and updated periodically.

Four days parking may be possible if you're booking a night at end, just depends. More likely a fee may be tacked on as its sorta an extra amenity and during busy season for B&B's, not always a sure thing they'll have space or want to bother when other customers without this type of request are probably a dime a dozen. Then again, you could luck out and get the parking, simply by having a stay booked at the conclusion of your tour. Providing the added convenience will obviously improve the chances for a repeat visit or at the very least good word being spread by yourself about their property.

Trail complete to Sandcastle (Homestead). Check out the GAP website under trail status. The site has all the info. you may need.

After the trip comment:
Yough Shore Inn - Boston, PA: Great place to stay and will allow you to leave car. Boston is 15 miles from end of GAP.
Finished GAP by riding through Sandcastle p/l, out the far back, turn left and walk down the side of RR tracks for about 1/4 mile. The GAP or (maybe) the River Heritage Trail picks up and you can end up riding at least to the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongehelia and Ohio Rivers.
