If anyone is interested, I am riding solo from Pitt (mile 0) to DC in 5 days starting on Sunday, May 3rd at roughly 8AM. Day 1 to Ohiopyle (75mi), day 2 to Cumberland (75mi), day 3 to Hancock (60mi), day 4 to Harpers Ferry (60mi) and the last day to DC (60mi)... Would enjoy some company if anyone wants to join. Will be driving back from Reagan to PIT so would be willing to share the car space permitting.

Great intinerary! Those five stops were the exact locations of my first GAP/C&O trip. You should be in Hancock tonight. Hope you don't miss the Western Maryland Rail Trail (just before Hancock) which parallels the C&O for 22 gloriously paved miles. If not, you'll get the last half of it tomorrow morning from Hancock. Hope you're enjoying your trip!

Thanks, John. I'm happy to report it was a success. No flats, no issues...just great scenery and super nice people. Also happy to report that I didn't miss the WMRT either.

Great to hear Jerry! Happy to hear you caught the WMRT as well, it's such a nice diversion. I'm still trying to find a timeframe to do the trail this summer but hope to have it nailed down soon. Glad your trip was a success. John.
