8 of us doing the trip from pitt to dc in june 2914. couple of the guys have done it before. One guy has a trek 1.5 road bike. He could put 28 mm tires on but im afraid could have issues on the towpath if rainy weather. Do you agree better he finds a different bike?

Well, you've got 900 years to make that choice, why not wait and see what's available then :)
Have a great trip!

Oops meant 2014. He decided to look for a used touring bike. I heard the towpath can be a rough ride in thin tires.
