I'm doing a trip june 7th for about a week from Pittsburgh to cumberland and then I'm going to see how I feel if I will continue to DC. I just took up cycling about a year or so ago and none of my motorcycle friends have a desire to share this trip with me. I'm going to camp or stay in hotels what ever works best for that night. I have no problem eating hot dogs by the camp or eating steak in the hotel restaurant. Anyone looking to share a trip email me at jboyle464@gmail.com Never did a trip of this size and I'm a little hesitant of going alone but will if need be. Male 50 yrs old MT bike I have a ride from NJ to Pittsbugh and my wife will pick me up when I had enough or in DC what ever comes first.

Hello, I am taking the trip leaving on May 3 and I can't wait. I just wanted to tell you there is a site called bikepacking.us and they are doing a ride on the GAP June 5-9 and I think it's free. Good luck.

You may start out by yourself but you wont be alone. All kinds of nice people you will meet along the way. Thats what makes it fun.

When nearing confluence, rockwood meyersdale area on the trail stop in at the Rockwood Millshoppes and hostel. You will enjoy the food and appreciate the accommodations.
