Day 1 Bike Travels

-



. 

Picked up a way cool gravel bike in loop Pittsburgh and took off down the Great Allegheny Passage - the GAP Trail heading to Cumberland MD. Then onto the C and O canal to Washington DC.
  

It was a little tricky at times navigating out of Pittsburgh, but soon I was gliding down the trail next to the Monongahela  River.  

Not sure what the sign is about  



The trail is a converted railroad bed so it’s mostly flat. It was a beautiful day and the scenery was lovely. 





Ended the day at the Bright Morning B&B in West Newton PA. Sat on the porch with new bike buddies swapping stories and mileage ridden that day. Mine was 34 miles. 

The Relive video is pretty cool.

Hi Anne, that Relive app is very cool. Looks like a great trip and good weather and temps ahead for you. Not sure about the PA part but at least when you get to Cumberland, the trail has a nice 2% downward grade to DC, so should be mostly downhill. Have a great trip and be safe! Don.

Anne, wow really impressive! When you visit us across the pond you will have to cycle Richmond park with the fam, it's not exactly this sort of distance but you will fit in with the many cyclists here.
